Small Block Ford V8 Windsor 289 302 Oil Pump Drive Shaft

Upgrade your Small Block Ford V8 Windsor 289/302 with Aeroflow’s oil pump drive shaft, a purpose-built upgrade for higher-torque oil pumps and heavy-viscosity lubricants. When installing a new oil pump, the stock drive shaft can become a bottleneck—this heavy‑duty replacement is larger in diameter than OEM units to reliably transfer increased torque and maintain optimal oil delivery under demanding conditions.

• Material and finish: chrome moly 8740 for maximum strength and a durable black oxide coating that resists corrosion.
• Compatibility: designed for Windsor 289 and 302 Small Block Ford V8 engines.
• Dimensions: Overall length 213 mm; shaft diameter 8.20 mm; distributor shaft diameter 8.20 mm.
• Performance benefits: handles the added torque from higher-capacity oil pumps or heavy-viscosity lubricants, reducing the risk of drive‑shaft shear or slippage.
• Installation considerations: verify clearance to the cylinder block (minimum 0.050 inches) and maintain 0.008–0.010 inches of shaft end play between the distributor and oil pump; ensure there is no binding between the oil pump drive shaft, distributor, and oil pump.
