SBC Billet Aluminum Oil Pump Street/Strip

The SBC Billet Aluminum Oil Pump Street/Strip from MELLING is engineered for small block Chevy engines demanding reliable high-volume oil circulation in both street and strip applications. This internal wet sump pump maintains standard pressure output while delivering the flow rates necessary for sustained performance at elevated RPM, making it essential for enthusiasts building engines that bridge daily driving and weekend competition. The inclusion of a pickup tube and compatibility with 8-1/4 inch deep pans eliminates guesswork during assembly.

Constructed from billet aluminum, this pump reduces weight compared to cast iron alternatives while maintaining structural integrity under high-flow demand. The internal gear design ensures consistent oil delivery to critical bearing surfaces, valve trains, and cam lobes without pressure spikes that could damage seals or gaskets. Standard pressure regulation allows the pump to work seamlessly with factory-style relief valves and existing oiling systems, simplifying installation on both stock-based and lightly modified engines. At 4.1 lbs, the lightweight construction contributes to overall engine bay efficiency without sacrificing durability or performance longevity.

Street/strip builders and small block Chevy engine rebuilders benefit most from this pump's proven design, particularly those upgrading from worn OEM units or transitioning to performance-oriented builds. The shark-style configuration and high-volume output pair well with modern synthetic oils and cooling systems that demand consistent flow rates. Installation requires an 8-1/4 inch or deeper oil pan to accommodate the pickup; verify pan depth before purchase. Ideal for 327, 350, 400, and other small block variants where reliable lubrication at elevated RPM is non-negotiable for engine longevity and performance.
