SBC Billet Aluminun Oil Pump C/T

The SBC Billet Aluminum Oil Pump C/T by Melling is engineered for small-block Chevy enthusiasts and professional engine builders who demand reliable lubrication at extreme RPM. Whether you're running a street performance build, bracket racing platform, or high-horsepower naturally aspirated engine, this billet pump delivers consistent oil flow across the full operating range. Built from aerospace-grade aluminum, it's designed to handle the demands of modified SBC engines where stock cast-iron pumps fall short under sustained load.

Melling's billet construction provides superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to traditional cast pumps, reducing inertial load on the crankshaft while improving volumetric efficiency. The C/T designation indicates this unit features a timing cover drive configuration, making it compatible with external gear or serpentine belt systems depending on your installation method. Precision-machined internals ensure tighter tolerances and more consistent oil delivery, which is critical when running tight bearing clearances or high-velocity fuel systems that rely on stable oil pressure signatures. The compact 6.3 x 4.8 x 10.7 inch footprint and 4.45 lb weight allow for easier packaging in tight engine bays without sacrificing flow capacity.

This pump is ideal for builders working with 283, 305, 327, 350, and 400 cubic-inch SBC platforms, particularly in applications exceeding 6,000 RPM or requiring upgraded cooling and filtration systems. Installation requires engine removal and timing cover access; professional machine shops typically handle fitment to ensure proper gear mesh and clearance. The billet aluminum construction resists cavitation and delivers stable pressure curves that protect critical engine components—especially turbo or supercharged builds where oil starvation risk is elevated.
