I am rebuilding a 1960 235 engine and needing new oil pump pick up assembly as the original is unusable. Does anyone manufacture an aftermarket piece? I have not been able to find one. What have others done when faced with this issue?

I may have an NOS pick up. Send me a PM if you would. Are you using the 60 pan? One question, and I dont know the answer, is there a difference in the pans or the pick up between truck motors and car motors?
I fabricate my own pickups from 16 GA steel sheet metal and stainless steel mesh. It's a pretty simple project, using acetylene welding and pop rivets. Of course, I'm using non-standard oil pumps on some of the engines I build. We seldom, if ever ran a stock pump pickup on the round track cars. Jerry

I may be able to come up with an oil pickup assembly if you can't come up with one more locally.
I gave the remnants of a 1958 235 engine, including oil pan, pickup, etc to the machine shop that did my machine work. I could check and see if they'd part with it. I need to go talk with them about some injector hold-down bolts I left in my 7.3L when I had them rebuild it for me. Wasn't a big deal as I had spares of those.
It uses a pipe thread into the oil pump and the pickup is pivoted on the bottom end. RockAuto says the 58 and 60 235's use the same oil pump.

Can you post a picture of the one you need? It will help some of us who might be able to provide one. Jerry
