I have to take my oil pan off as I am replacing the gasket and fitting a new timing cover. I replaced the oil pick up when I installed my new oil pan a while back. My question is now I am taking the pan off again, I have a ford racing FMS-M-660-B3 high volume oil pump and M-6605-A341 HD oil pump shaft. Should I install these while I am at it or not worry?
I have no oil pressure issues or leaks, just had this sitting in my garage for ages and wonder if it is just good for my engine in the long run?
Motor is nothing fancy. 351W rebuilt maybe 13yrs ago. Standard crank, alloy heads, h-286-2 crane cam, weiand stealth intake, 1.7 roller rockers, 10.5:1 comp
If I should fit it, are there any tricks to it? Motor won't be running for quite some time as car is in primer and still needs body work/paint.
