They dont fit an original K-member, do a google search, I posted pics on here or the Dodge Charger forum. Waste of money unless you are running a plate...Tim

Been using Milodon for over 40 years now. Didn't have a plate on my Hemi A/SM cuda back in the '70's and everything fit just fine.

????? I think there would be hundreds of users who would disagree. That said, you have to use the correct plate for the application. The one on the right is for the plain ol' big blocks, the one in the middle is for a hemi and will work with stock mounts and K-member

This is basically the same setup only not "billet". The cover is from Muscle Motors and is probably half the price of the Milodon (does the same thing just not as pretty!)

You see the bolt on the top back? You are not showing a hemi block and mount. That rear bolt I believe I have heard something talked about on here, but I also read it was resolved.

I bought both of those covers last summer and BOTH had interference with the left motor mount or K-member.
Look at post # 12 to see what I had to do to run external oiling with a stock K-member and mounts

Look at this post to show the MILODON cover on a STOCK hemi mount system.

No, its a small block chevy mount !!!

The post was to show the MM cover, not a hemi mount. But I can understand the confusion.

stock motor mounts with milodon cast cover and melling HV pump. you have to get a little creative with the mount and clearancing. and you also need to install the mount and oil pump together.

Milodon makes one that is even tighter to the engine than that one, almost a must in an open wheel car.

We've got one on the car right now, Couldn't tighten the mounting bolts to the stock iron torque specs without it binding.
I was told 15ft lbs was OK and it seems to work on the drill.
Never found out what Milodon recommended
Haven't got round to running the motor yet either.

What mounts are you using? Which block? Which K-member? The OP was asking about a Hemi block and K-member with the new cover and others post pics of their 440 setup or of some other cover. Tim

can you use the stock oil pump drive if your using the stock cast cover or do you have to buy the longer one anyways running this pump?

the pump im running takes a longer shaft. any of these pump you'd want to have a hardened tipped shaft.

I'm using that pump with the stock cover and a 1/2" internal pick-up. It's sweet, takes less power to drive at a given rpm than a stock pump and with the stock cover, and fits just like the stock HV pump body.

The lobes on the gearator are much more pointed than the factory lobes. Be sure to port match the pump to the block etc and do the rest of the recommended internal oiling system mods.

It's a nice upgrade to your oiling system.

Years ago I cracked the housing of a cast iron version of that oil pump. It was at the narrowest wall. That motor would have been toast if I didn't constantly check and recheck things. I torqued it to stock specs and it bound up to the point I could not spin the motor. That lower torque spec sounds very familiar.

I have a hand written tag on a new cast iron one that is still on the shelf that says 25 ft lbs.


Too many cars, too many parts, too little coin, too little space to work in, too little time left to make it all happen! Update: down to one ride, still too many parts, a little more jingle in the pocket, gaining space, and it's going to happen this year!

I have to port match the block? thanks I did not know this and will do so before I goto install it. As for the rest of the internal oil system mods what can I do to improve? building a 470ci stroker (400 block) running the milodon oil pump and milodon road race pan with windage tray and 3/8" pickup

Don't grind the block, grind the pump to match the block. You don't want to have to mess with the block again if you ever need to change pumps.

Wait until you try putting on the motor mounts...Take some pics when you do so we can see how well it fits. Tim

It's a nice upgrade to your oiling system.




I have to port match the block? thanks I did not know this and will do so before I goto install it. As for the rest of the internal oil system mods what can I do to improve? building a 470ci stroker (400 block) running the milodon oil pump and milodon road race pan with windage tray and 3/8" pickup




There's a very wise bunch of experienced engine builders on this site that can point you in the right direction regarding preparing and improving the blocks oil passages etc.

Just be careful, take your time and follow the generally accepted practices of the guys who've been there done that.

One of the most critical things you can do is clean everything, and I mean everything several times.
