My motor broke...

Well I'll know what happened come Weds, I should have it apart and have inspected the damage by then.

As far as the Hi-Volume pump issue, that was the same thing I always thought, they add a lot of added stress to the shaft and guys twist them all the time. I really would like to make sure that oil is there up top.

With my motor hot and 10w40 I see about 58lbs of pressure and I shift my car at 6400rpms, I should be seeing a little more to be safe. I have the 7qt pan so I am not afraid of the pump sucking it dry but I want to ensure that there is oil to the componets at the high rpm, and since I had the pump I thought I'd swap it in. It is a FMS High Volume, should not increase the Pressure right? If not I guess I will look into a blue printed stock style pump, what exactly do they do to blue print them, and how much so they run?

FiveO- I here ya, I am glad I saw this as soon as it happened, I shut if off and drifted to a stop. I have a 351W that I planned to stroke and install, but I am moving in 5 weeks and that was going to be a winter project..not a current one.

I'll let you all know what I find

Thanks Guys
