408 stroker oil pump

bricud said
I was wondering what I need for an oil pump for my 408 stroker. The HV one I have will not clear the main stud bolts. Wondering what I am looking for. Also, the pickup tube attaches to one of the main bolts. Do I need a stud kit for that, or can it be placed under the bolt (between the bolt and the main cap). Not sure how this will affect alignment. Thanks.

Common issue- lots of threads about this.
Basically, you have to lose the washer and spot grind the pump housing for clearance.
Some people have contacted ARP directly and requested their special low profile bolt- they are aware of the issue, but don't seem too anxious to correct their bolt kit.
