I always ran bronze gears with mech rollers in my fe's. Never a problem.
You should have the big after market oil pump drive for sure. Probably
SVO makes them today, or at least sells them.

unless you're running a large pan, then get rid of the HV oil pump.... you'll run your pan dry and start wearing bearings faster...... i reccomend even when running a standard oil pump to use the heavy duty pump drive.... i'd rather put $30 extra into prevention than to put $3000 into a rebuild

hey thanks for the reply guys!

Yes the pan is massive, 10 quart oil change. I am purrty sure she has a HD pump drive. ill 2x check that one though. So if we are running a bronze gear we should be in the clear?
