Well, it's not exactly plug & plug .. !
The Oem truck oil pump pickup tube not jibing with the boat oil pan ..
Going to need the Mercruiser tube ...
--------------------------------------

Seems that the Mercruiser pump pickup tube (pn 809772T) is not to be had ... Can't even order it, no longer being made ...
Going to try using a aftermarket tube.. ??

Took two pickup tubes to get it sitting where I wanted it to ...
The first was to short, had a 15/16" gap ..

Second one was a bit to long, but with some bending got it where it will work okay ...

Next items to nail down are the crank oil scrapper, windage plates and the main cap bolts ...

Hoping the aluminum pan has room for the two windage trays ..
Won't know till the install takes place ..

Found the studs and the GM windage plate, their on the way to me from my hometown in Kentucky ..

Moving right along with the build !!

Question is: Is lower end oil control worth all the hassles and expense ??

Well, according to the racing legends it's good for 15 to 25 more ponies ..
