LOL Thats a Bulltear product not a BJs ....but it maybe sold at BJs. Its a 3 piece cover for a dry sump application. We are also working on 3 piece covers using a simple steel oil pump for replacing the OEM cover.

I love the idea of a new/modern oil pump to replace the aluminum housing. It would also be nice to have an option for an oil pump that flows a much higher volume of oil. My build is well past the this point so I am not really in the market anymore but I would have loved it.
I am currently at this stage, planned on using my original unit but would be nice to know if there is another option???

PO swapped in a 360, soon to be a 401 again!
"Soon" is a relative term.
Cracked cylinder put a hurt on me + bad connecting rods.
I am not interested in a dry sump system but I would love an improved wet sump system.

they already are a high volume pump. they had to be because of the awful design. half the volume capabilities are lost once the alloy housing warms up and the tolerances open up.
lets not forget the oil takes about a 24" ride from the oil pan to the oil pump. great idea there.
brilliant!
but hey,oil pump maintenance is super easy!! look at all those dumb ford and chevy guys pulling the oil pan for "oil pump maintenance"....
also,the dizzy drive gears are about maxed out on how much load they can handle already. more oil pump volume means even more load.

It's like you're unraveling a big cable-knit sweater that someone keeps knitting...and knitting...and knitting...and knitting...
All good points, Ristow. I wonder how much a cast iron cover would weigh? Or what if there was a way to machine the stock cover to fit a pressed in steel insert? would have to cover the bottom and sides...
