did you get a windage tray with it-i have the same pan and the tube pickup bolts to the main cap-you need to have studded caps bolts

All Dooley pans have a windage tray, first.  Second, their pickup tube will only fit the Melling M84 or M84HV oil pump. The pickup tube YOU have is not a BBF unit for a Melling M84 unit. No idea what it is for, but not your engine, and the oil pump you have does not look like an M84 either..........Did you try and match up the pan? is it even CLOSE to fitting? For some reason, Chrysler looks VERY familiar with that pickup tube.

You have one style of BBF oil pump in your engine (a Melling M84), and the Dooley pickup that you have is for a different
style of BBF oil pump for your engine (a Melling M84BHV-S).  You need to puchase the correct pump (M84BHV-S) for that
pickup tube.

Dooley has made pickup tubes for all three pickup mounting types that are available between all the 460 Ford oil pumps,
and while Dooley does offer a press-in pickup tube for the pump that is currently in your engine, you would be well
advised to get the pump for the bolt-on pickup that came with the new pan (between those two choices, the M84BHV-S
is a better choice than the M84).

Dooley can sell you the windage tray and main cap bolt hardware for that pan seperately.

Be sure to take the time to mock up the pickup tube and pump correctly during assembly.

And for christs sake ditch the shorty Fram filter!

If you are running that shorty due to clearance you should check out this adapter from Ford Racing:

What kind of motor mount are you using? Headers?

I have this on my 460 with logs and 4 point mounts running a full size filter with no problem, it can be rotated in almost any direction just mounts to the block filter area the one bolt.

Not to get completely off track, but since I am putting on a edelbrock performer intake and Hooker headers, what carb should I upgrade to. I could only get my rpms up to like 3200-3500 last season mostly because my secondaries werent opening I found out. Need a mechanical douple pumper, but what CFM, I was thinking 850 what about you guys

Is this the pump I need?

So I got the correct oil pump with the part number you guys gave me. I will put on the oil pan this weekend.

Now the next issue, I have a set of Hooker headers and of course they dont make injection lines for them anymore that I can find.
Can I re bend the stainless bassett ones I have with a tubing bender? Does anyone know if the bassett brass fittings will fit into the Hooker headers.

I checked the intake manifold I have and it is just a Performer manifold, sucks I just had it powdercoated. Is the stock manifold better? Also this is in an 18ft Tahiti not the day cruiser I scratched that project a while back

When trying to install the pickup tube I realized when they brazed it to fix it the plate where it
bolts to the main cap was a little off. Then when snugging every thing down I
broke the mounting bracket on my new oil pump    

Next step, buy another oil pump again and get a pickup tube from Dooley that hasn't been
fucked over by some dumbass

Your disregard to properly fit the aftermarket components to your custom engine build is
the reason the pump broke, and also the number one reason for the Ford 460 oil pump breaking and
why it has received an erroneously poor reputation on the internet, not because of some other
"dumbass" as you allege.

Your oil pump broke because you stressed it while forcing the pickup tube mountng bracket
into place. You should have test fitted the part, evaluated the amount of adjustment necessary
(in order to locate the mounting bracket to the mounting stud), then removed the pickup and
adjusted the mounting bracket, then rechecked fitment, and repeat this process as many times as
necessary until all mating parts seat perfectly before any bolts are installed and tightened.

Instead, you forced your pickup support bracket into place (to the main bolt's stand-off stud), which
sends a lot of leveraged load against the pump, and thereby stresses the neck of the pump before you
even finished bulding your engine!

If you were installing your connecting rods to your crankshaft and the rods didn't fit because
the crankshaft's rod journals were too large for the big end of the rods, would you tighten the rod
bolts and force the rod caps around the crankshaft journal anyway???  How about a distributor that didn't
drop into the block, would you install the bolt-down clamp at the distributor base and drive it in?
Of course not.

90% of the time when someone comes onto the internet and claims that their BBF oil pump broke, they
are oblivous to the fact that it broke due to their poor setup during installation. That part of the story is
unknowingly ommited and instead the story is started at the point of oil pump breakage.

Avenger, my intention is not to isolate your situation and beat you up; I do mean to use this as an
example of what many, many people mistakenly do during engine assembly (not just you).   Lucky for
you your pump broke in front of you due to your install and not while you were flying along in your boat.

So getting closer today I picked up another oil pump and got it mounted, just need to call dooley and get another pickup coming monday, then I can get the pan on and the motor back in.

My next question is will a stock mech fuel pump be sufficient for my motor. I am planning on running a 850DP mech secondaries. Or do I need to get a high flow elec fuel pump?

Oh and by reading the above by LO I swear you were hiding in my shop watching the whole thing

haha! Don't feel bad, like I said I've watch it done like that on quite a few occassions...you're not the only one.  And now you know how to do it correctly.
