351w Ford Oil Pump Shaft

The MILODON 351W Ford Oil Pump Shaft (part number 22560) is a precision-engineered drive shaft designed for small block Ford engines requiring stock-length oil pump actuation. This chromoly oil pump drive shaft features heat-treated ends to withstand the cyclic stresses inherent in continuous engine operation, making it a direct replacement for original equipment on 351W applications where reliability and proper oil delivery are critical to engine longevity.

Chromoly construction provides superior strength compared to standard steel while maintaining the light weight necessary for efficient oil pump drive dynamics. The heat-treated end geometry ensures the shaft interfaces properly with both the distributor gear and oil pump drive tang, eliminating the slack or wear-induced leakage that can develop in older or stock shafts. The stock length specification makes this a direct bolt-in replacement for 351W engines without requiring adapter modification or clearance work, preserving the integrity of the engine's original geometry.

This shaft is essential for rebuilds, restorations, and high-performance applications where worn or damaged factory shafts compromise oil distribution pressure. Whether rebuilding a 351W Windsor for street use or replacing a damaged shaft in an existing engine, this MILODON component delivers the mechanical precision required to maintain steady oil pump operation across the full RPM range. Weighing just 0.38 lbs, it integrates seamlessly into standard 351W engine assemblies.

MILODON is recognized in the Ford performance community for manufacturing drive system components that meet original specifications while addressing the durability demands of engine work. This oil pump shaft represents a straightforward, verified replacement for builders and restorers who depend on proper oil delivery for engine reliability.
