He already scratched the engine months ago and he’s charging the electrics up right now....

Shouldn't it be 2 squirrels?

 

[915_Tahoe]

I need suggestions. For the new(used) 6.0, what kind of chain and what oil pump should I get? Hv? Standard? It'll be a Melling tho. Suggestions, ideas? Going to my buddy's this Thursday, so I need to get all this stuff ready.

Many crate engine shops only provide a warranty if you have them install a high volume high pressure mellings pump. Seems overkill to me but what do I know my 6.0 is blowed up lol.

I was thinking of just using a standard oil pump this time.

On a mild rebuild like this that's what I'd do personally. But I know nothing lol

Ok, maybe that'll be fine. Old one was a HV that I guess quit. 2 mechanics said I had no oil pressure.
