My problem is that I can't maintain oil pressure. At start up I get about 45lbs on the newly installed mechanical gauge, but upon warm-up the pressure drops to 12-15lbs. At 60 mph the gauge is reading 18-22lbs. I've replaced the oil pump with a high volume pump but no help. The truck is "new" for me and I am just getting started restoring it. > >The other question I have is any suggestion for engine swaps. I have a 351W with a C6 in another F150 that I am considering swapping into the 4X4. I would say that if you have replaced the oil pump, and you know the screen is not stopped up, then most likely you have some cam and main bearing wear. probably should'vew pulled one of the main caps while you were doing the oil pump just to see how it looked...
