What oil pump were you running? And what caused it to go bad??

 

[Dalamar]

they look nice.
I'm also interested in your numbers once it's running.

 

[rick focks]

[cmher18]

[cntchds]

It's an MMR oil pump.

I was running the MMR street/racing pump.

the GT is back up. I bought a stock shortblock with 20k on it, swapped the top end over to it and threw on a FRPP Cobra oil pump. She's been running for almost a week now. Just taking care of minor issues before I schedule a dyno tune, which should happen mid-April. Video will be taken soon of her running

Sweet! Congrats on getting it back together so quickly. Anxiously looking forward to the numbers...again, lol :thumbsup:

 

[mikey94gt]

What was wrong with the MMR pump?

I have one in the garage for my build and hope its not a bad one...

Not the first, not the last.

ok, video of her as promised: 2000 Mustang GT idle
I just cleared her KAM, so she was relearning the idle if it sounds abit off. I'm chasing a minor oil leak, once that's taken care of it's dyno time

Is your oil leak coming from the passenger side head? I'm having a small leak coming from one of the pipe fittings on the back of the passenger side head.

Mine was coming from the dipstick this time around. I did have that leask you described with the forged shortblock. Trick Flow doesn't put enough teflon tape on the threads so I retaped them during the last swap

i know some one that is currently installing these TF heads , and he told me the intake and exhaust runners were smaller that PI but the valves were bigger, apparently they are more focused on intake velocity more than volume.
