Bruce,
The Toro may have the right pickup for a deep pan, but
isn't it standard volume? Any pump can have the restricted
flow pressure raised by increasing spring pressure, what
is a good way to check the pressure?
The rest of what I wrote refers to making a new pickup or using one from
Milodon. The stock pickup will not work.
For the pressure, it's just rule of thumb. For more flow volume, more
pressure will be needed to move it. If one wants to use a stock capacity oil
pan (5 quart), then stick with the stock oil pump. If more oil capacity is
wanted, 7 or 8 quarts, then go with the Toro oil pump or the Melling M22FHV
and use the pickup that fits the new pan, or make one to fit. The pickups
for the Toro oil pump and for that particular Melling oil pump are
completely different.
