Thanks! B f evans Ford Raceparts.
Wow! there is a hugh differance between the Mellings and the Kaase oil pump

dfree383 ,how much would I gain from a custom grind camshaft.

Depends, could be a bunch depending on the combo. Issues you have are a single pattern, ford don't respond well to those, due to the weak exhaust port.

Mock up that Kaase pump and check it for crank clearance. We've all had to grind on the pump a bit to get it to clear the crank...
