HV oil pump vs Stock oil pan

flyfish said

I believe that is a myth that the "HV pump will suck the pan dry". Someone debunked it a few years back, but I can't find the link....granted, I use a HV pump in my car with a 7qt pan, but only use 6 qts.

It "can" happen, but the small block Mopar is an engine it will never, ever happen to. Just look at the intake valley. There's no way in the world you'd pump the pan dry. Now, look at a Ford 351 Cleveland. Totally different story. If you're wondering, that is the front of the engine where the distributor is. This is in a mid engine Pantera. But nowhere for lots of oil to go very quickly.
