Moroso Extended Oil Pump Pickups are engineered to be ''where the oil is'' under the most demanding racing conditions. Each pickup is designed to fit specific Moroso Oil Pans and may be used with the Oil Pumps noted in the Application Charts. Moroso Pickups may also be used with other manufacturers' pans depending on the sump design. Each steel pickup is precision bent, heliarc welded and finished in black oxide. The wire mesh steel screen, which is welded to pickup box, traps debris without restricting oil flow. Note: Pickups should be bolted, and then brazed or welded to the oil pump.

nothing has been changed as far as the oiling system and it worked before the rebuild.

i have no clue, i did not assemble the long block. all i did was the waterpump, intake, and valve covers.

the machine shop is telling me to just fire it up and if it doesnt build any pressure with about 15 seconds then they need the motor back.

Make sure you let them know if something happens to your new setup when it DOESNT build pressure, then its on THEM. If they built the engine, the ***** in their court.
