Not true at all. Stock pump flows more than adequately.

By the way, I was quoted $2900 by my local mechanic to install a junkyard 24V duratech with a 30 day warranty...that's not too bad, is it?





Seems extremely high to me! $1000 is about the norm in my neck of the woods.




I guess I should have clarified things...
2900 for the entire thing...meaning, long block (30K salvage yardmotor) plus install.
