It has been a while since I have posted on here with my postal scale!
I have tried to keep up with all the posts on here though.
So recently I was on the Milidon site and was looking at their oil pump bodies for Mopar wedge engines. In the description it states that it weighs 3LBS less than a stock pump and uses less horsepower to run.
I decided to buy one and see?
My first picture is of a stock oil pump weighing in at 7LBS .9OZ!
The second picture is of the stock pump section weighing in at 4LBS 5.9OZ
The third picture is of the Milidon pump section weighing 2LBS 9.2OZ
The last picture is of the Milidon pump and stock cover at 5LBS 4.2OZ
So the only way you save the 3lbs in the description is to buy both the
pump and cover. They make a rear outlet and bottom outlet for external line systems. The Milidon rep told me that you could use either one without external lines and just plug it.
But the big thing is 1 LB 12.7 OZ off the nose of the car and less horsepower to drive the oil pump!
You can paint over the Milidon lettering and no one will notice it!
