stopped by 'checker auto' and picked up a high volume oil pump.... got my motor together,,, tried to prime the pump,,, no oil,,,, pulled the pan, oil pump rod is 1/2" too short,, how the hell did that happen????

checked the pump depth at the store, same as stock, but the driver obviously needs to be a bit longer than stock...

so if I would of put the motor in (without priming the pump) I would be sitting here with a ******N blown motor,,, thanx to checker (previously known as 10,000) auto parts...

so now i get to play the *ss hole!!!

thx to the guys who helped on the other topic... I owe ya one....
