Im trying to find a oil pump drive shaft for a 354, think 331 is the same. We are converting a marine motor to pass. car style distributor. Anybody Know were to get a new one? Auto parts store was no help.Thanks

Either PAW http://www.earlyhemiengineparts.com/ or http://www.hothemiheads.com/ have them. Be careful though. The 354 Industrial engine I'm running right now took a 392 oil pump and intermediate shaft. I'd call Bob up at Hot Hemi Heads and tell him what your are doing and he'll set you up right. He knows his stuff and is a stand up guy. The folks at PAW are just box pushers.

I looked at hot heads site, saw gears and pumps but no shaft.

Maybe you could talk him into the advantages of a bbc. Then you could offer to get rid of that troublesome old scrap engine. ;-)

He just got a 392 core motor the other day. I’m sure I will have to deal with building and installing that to replace the 354 this winter. No the 354 will not be for sale. This guy never sells anything.All you guys would shit if you saw this guys stuff. It all just sits.It depressing.
