Oil Pump - Pontiac V8

The MELLING Oil Pump for Pontiac V8 (Model 10540) is a wet sump, internal circulation pump engineered for stock and lightly modified Pontiac V8 engines. This standard-volume, standard-pressure pump maintains consistent oil flow across the engine's bearing surfaces, delivering dependable lubrication during sustained operation. The unit ships complete with pickup tube and is sized for stock pan depth, making it a direct replacement for original equipment on compatible Big Block and Small Block Pontiac V8 applications.

Key specifications include a 3/4-inch inlet fitting, compatible with standard oiling system configurations. Standard volume and pressure ratings align with factory specifications, ensuring the pump operates within designed parameters without requiring supporting modifications to valve relief systems or oil cooler circuits. The included pickup tube integrates directly with the sump, eliminating the need for separate assembly. At 5.35 pounds, the unit is compact and straightforward to install in tight engine bay layouts.

This pump serves restoration projects, rebuilt engines, and maintenance replacements on classic and muscle car Pontiac V8s. Builders working within stock or near-stock parameters benefit from a pump that maintains original bearing clearances and oil passages without undersizing or overpressurization. The standard-pressure design prevents unnecessary strain on gaskets and seals, extending engine longevity during daily driving or show preparation.

MELLING's pump engineering emphasizes reliable circulation over extreme performance, making this component ideal for anyone prioritizing engine durability and factory-correct operation on Pontiac V8 platforms.
