external oiling questions

Agreed, very crowded with stock mounts. Required careful carving on the stock hemi engine bracket. This is a older setup from the 70s but little has changed. They now sell CNC'd billit parts rather than machined castings. The pans are shallower also by 1 1/2".
Shown is the aluminum milodon pump and a cover for remote filter on a hemi. Fits in A & B body both since they take the same mount.
The two smaller forward facing AN fittings connect to remote filters. The larger aluminum hard line connects to a short section of braided line to the swinging pickup. The second braided line from the pickup goes to a rear facing port on the pump cover.
On a 440 the pump cover will use a side port rather than a rear facing port to work with the wedge engine mounts.
The pump cover can be had with a filter mount rather than than the remote filter fittings but I have had better luck with the remote style when it comes to leaks.
When using a stock style pump the sandwiched bracket has the forward facing line and takes up more space than the milodon pump with the port cast into the pump. But when using as a single line you can use the stock cover and filter mount. The milodon oiling system can be configured in many ways depending on what you need. I never cared much for the static pickup myself unless some good oil control baffles are welded into the pan. Easier to use the swinging
pickup. You can plug one port on the pickup when using single line.
The pump and mount both have to be bolted on at the same time off the K frame, it is that tight of a fit.
