I used the 10552 high volume pump for my 383, but only because I have a modified oil system and a 7-quart pan.
A high volume pump for 90% of builds nowadays is not needed and just puts unnecessary stress on the oil pump drive gear.

Well, I mentioned this because of the casting change of the M55x units and their habit of breaking during high performance use. They even come with a disclaimer. The "Melling Select" is Melling's high peformance line.
I went with a Milodon pump because of all of this BS. Melling may have redesigned the pumps in the past year or so but I didn't want to risk it.
