The newest "building a slant six" thread

I wasn't aware of that, either, until about 2 years go. someone mentioned it online. I had two hydro engines, on hand. One that was given to me, and one in my truck. So I looked, and sure enough, they both had the bigger pump. Now I make no garuntee, these are original from the factory. I can't check part numbers, as my parts manuals don't go that new.
Later today when I am in the garage I’ll check the FSM for the oil pump rotor width for a 68 Slant and an 83 Slant. The 83 will be thicker.
