Need Help for Oil Pump

[grey beard]

I am looking real dilligently for an engine oil pump that has a pressure relief outlet on the side of the pump body. These were used on only a few applications - likely fluid drive units. Can anyone point me in the right direction toward a source for one of these elusive critters?

Thanks for your time.

Dave, any idea where you've seen this "elusive critter"? My fluid drive engine has the oil pressure relief built into the block just above the pan flange, and it's on the opposite side of the block from the pump. At least I believe that's what that little poppet and spring are for.

Merle,

A gent by the name of Marty Bose, who often posts here, sent me the details of his full-flow oil filter conversion. Marty used a pump of this nature that I believe he found through Hemmings. The pressure relief port for this pump is in the side of the pump body rather than in the block. Marty used this as his "out" port to the full flow filter, then re-entered the block with filtered oil via an external pressure regulator into the block at the point where the normal ipressure regulator sits. Seems like an elegant way to accomplish something many of us would like to achieve.

Can anyone tell me tha application for this pump? Sure would make it easier to search for if I knew where it was used. (Seing is believing . . . )

Thanks
