I'm pretty sure Mitch was north of 25 before he took out a head gasket, with stock parts. ARP head bolts are around $110. Just a thought.

Old power steering pump FTW. I think a regulator downstream from a power steering pump with at least one oil cooler and filter will make a good oil system.
If i can find a pump with the shaft extending out of the back of it, I could attach another pump to the back of it so they would run on a common shaft.

Ok then, I have located a powersteering pump to use as an oil pump, now i need to find a spare 4.8/5.3/6.0 powersteering pump to gut out, build a shaft, bore a hole through the back of the pump housing, counterbore it, install a high pressure seal and drill a bolt pattern to attach the second pump. then i just need to install it and plumb the system and test it.

Anybody need an auxiliary oil pump for say, a turbocharger or something? I got to work on a prototype today and got something that will definitely feed a turbocharger. and it installs with hardly any mods. Just plumbing.

Let's see some pics then.

I'm gonna work on that this weekend.

updates?

yeah, i kinda hit a wall on that, the pump and everything worked out ok, but the power steering pump on genIII trucks backs right up to the head and the deck. You would have to run an old style accessory kit with the p/s pump mounted out away from the engine. Otherwise there is no room.

it sucks, but not
