Oil pump drive shaft info?

[Von Writter]

Hi All;
I was wondering if the 250 CID engine had a high performance oil pump drive shaft available? I need a good reliable one to put into the engin in my Fokker DVII WWI fighter.
Thanks ahead of time

not to my knowledge.

All that is readily available are regular shafts, I´d take one from a reputable manufacturer and (especially on an aeroplane application) have it checked thoroughly.
Should a car´s oil pump drive fail, we can still pull over; but on a plane... well, lets not go there.

At least, our shafts are fare more beefy than the "pencils" that turn the pumps on smallblock V8s!

Thanks Simon, I've looked on Summit racings site but they don't list any, HP or otherwise

Troy,

I got my oil pump and shaft from NAPA last year, the number was CLEVITE 601-1019P82. Hope that helps
