me too.

or use the big block pump with whatever spring you need
I have used a remote relief valve at the other end of the block - prevents cavitition, heat

Not sure what you have in mind, but remote sounds like it’s in series rather than in parallel with the flow. Doesn’t sound right.

I think that's the point. It ensures everything ahead of it always sees that pressure or HIGHER not lower. Also prevents oil recirculating in the pump.

the idea of a remote pressure regulator sounds good actually. Same reason why you use return-style fuel pressure regulators.
Question: where do you buy those regulators? Anyone have a good part number?
Just working on a big block Mopar, where any oil system help is good.

Hi dave
for the boats I made them out of the "outside the block" Big Block Mopar pumps, tapped for hoses and sealed up where necessary- easy to do and easy to change springs
hate to have to pull a motor just to change a pressure spring
I understand that threaded relief valves are available off the shelf for many applications-- even your waterheater has one
I'll check Grangers
