and this.
You are far better off with a high pressure spring in a stock pump.
stock or hv oil pump

Not at all. I am merely saying it still has to go through the same size hole. It doesn't matter "where" the hole is. It's still a restriction.
Good luck with your oiling system.
Never had one problem before. ;)
Well maybe when mentioning a bigger pan so not to suck it dry would have a lot to do with return and volume of flow. I really don't care what you were talking about. I added my 2 cents anyway. Extra info never hurt anyone except complainers. Ad your advise and deal with it. Then troll on.
I hope we are doing the oil mods to take advantage of a higher volume. lol
small holes can't make use of more volume.
more pressure but not volume

My son said if a motor is fresh and built right with solids a standard pump is good enough. But he takes every pump apart and checks clearances.
I think Some of these new chinese Hyd. lifters you need a HV pump.
Post to your hearts content. Just because I don't agree blindly with rusty rod rolt does not mean I will agree with everything you say either.
I may not agree with everything you say, but I don't make fun of your screen name. I could, too.
Glad to see you still have a sense of humor.

Its more volume, end be the same. The same small restriction , the longer it gets..it will restrict more volume.
Milodon wouldn't bother if it weren't tested.
I works.
Fwiw i agree with Pittsburgh racer..The op and most on here ...dont need a HV pump. Ah but who cares, thats not what the op asked.

Every time i read "idiot weenie loser" i think.. thats gotta be something a grand kid said. Lol
No, it was someone on here who did their best to insult me so I just embraced it.
I really do wish it was grandkids. We haven't seen ours in over ten years. Stupid Jerry Springer family crap.
If I want to bad mouth you I would tell everbody about how you hosed me on a dozen tq carbs.
Well go ahead. I haven't done that. Nor do I plan on it.
Tell your son to keep up with the good work, he's a smart fella.
I was also not refering to you in post #63 either.

That's heartbreaking, sorry to hear.
Hope you someday reunite with them.
I don't know. It's been an ongoing thing that started over the fact that we didn't have $300 to loan my step daughter one Christmas. She said we'd never see the grandchildren again. That was a tick over ten years ago. We don't even know where they are and we were raising two of them at one point.

Not sure about a small block , but there are pump driveshafts for big blocks that will work on any cam , no need to run a brass one anymore .

First small block pic I`ve seen posted on here , w/ the casting flash cleaned up !!
Just here for the comments
I wouldn’t run a Hv pump with a stock pan. You definitely run a risk of sucking the oil pan dry. Been there done that.
As others have said a stock volume pump, with a high pressure spring is a safer bet.
That’s what I did with the 440 as I had a big block Chevelle try and pass me, on the way back from a city wide once a year cruise. He never got around me, but it cost a crankshaft. I threw the hv pump away, put a Hemi pan on it, and a standard pump, hp spring. New crankshaft. Had to hone some scratches out of the cylinders.
Same pressure, less volume, never seen the oil pressure drop again, even with drag radials on a good pass.

It has the potential to push more oil through. Whether it does or does not will depend on the resistance. An engine that was built loose is more likely to benefit...
Basically, a high volume pump has taller rotors. I've seen, or maybe I measured the height difference. But long ago - no idea where.
To the OP. @Gus Loza Maybe. I had a High Volume pump contact the pan bottom before it was snugged up. Which car, which pan, sorry I don't remember.
It can. Just because it hasn't happened to everyone. It can...
You're not the only one. My friend's lost an engine a couple years ago by sucking the pan dry road racing. They were pretty disgusted because had been a concern they had been assured had been addressed. They built the next engine themselves...
There is a situation where 20w-50 is still pretty common - road racing - especially if not running a big oil cooler.
Of course that's a world of diffence from street driving. Too many people think that if something is good for some form of racing it must be great for street use. Fell into that trap a bunch of times. Not sure I won't again...
What pan is that in the photo? I actually like that design.
They have a newer pan with octagonal bottom and straight sides that they are now calling their road race pan. It's got a bunch of swinging trap doors in the center.
