Hello,
A friend just purchased Bob Anderson's ESP camaro. It's a 1994 Z28. Bob had a shop rebuild the motor and had a high volume oil pump installed. Now there is a momentary drop in oil pressure when you are on the breaks very hard (racing hard). The Lt1 still has the factory oil pan. The oil pressure problem needs to be fixed before it goes back racing.


My current thought is that since we need to drop the K member to get at the pump or the pan, we might as well just put in a racing pan and reset the height of the oil pump. It looks like the Moroso pan and pick up tube are the way to go. Here is the pan: http://spideraccessories.stores.yahoo.net/moroso20185.html

What do you guys think?

Are their any tricks to dropping the K member? It looks fairly straight forward.

Thanks,
Chris Shay

I had an '89 Formula that used to hit 0 when I hit the brakes. When I pulled the engine I found the oil pump pickup tube laying in the bottom of the pan. It had vibrated out of the oil pump. You may very well find exactly the same thing.

The Moroso stuff is pretty nice. I had one of their pans once and I liked how it was built and how the pick up tube is retained by the oil pump bolts.
