Finally got things going in the right direction by making my own mounts and denting $800 headers...

Will any application stock header work in your application?

No I'm retaining torsion bars and stock steering configuration. The headers are TTI gen III/ borgeson steering box application.

Did you use the Milodon Road Race Pan? I think you did...

The pickup on mine is a cluster. Wondering what you ended up doing to get yours to work... if you have.

Summit lists the pickup as the same part number as the one needed for the 31000 pan. Last year I called Milodon and they told me it required a different part number pickup for the 31003.

This year I called and they said it was the same, and the 31000 pickup had been modified to work with both.

I call BS. Call Milodon and find out what the correct part number is for the 31003. It existed last year (during SEMA week is when I called).

The thing that really sucks is that I called them about an issue with the pickup and the 6.4 pump. They said to modify the attachment and it would be fine. Never said a word about the rest of the issues, or mentioned that there could be a revised design.

Milodon is getting close to being on the list of "Never buy from them again even if they are the last supplier on the face of the earth" along with TTI. So tired of this crap not working when they sell it as such.

It's not cheap and it doesn't fit. Great combo.

Called Milodon, they said Melling changed the bolt hole location on the 6.4 pumps. You need pickup #18349. I need the regular #18331 still.

Well im going to have to join the Milodon haters club. Finally got my pickup tube, thanks to Amazon, and it is pretty obvious that it was NEVER intended for this RR pan. Pretty f-ing mad that a guy pays $87 and gets a tube for a $400 pan that has no chance in hell of fitting.

If I got my $87 back I would make it work, but Milodon is gonna have ONE chance to make this right or I am gonna make it my lifes mission to make sure that their POS products never make it onto anything again. Im gonna let them decide their future in the aftermarket tomorrow.

Awesome, I would feel the exact same way!
How does the one company that makes the two products not make it fit?

When they first released this pan they had a special pickup part number they told me over the phone. When I called this year the guy had no idea what I was talking about and said the one pickup fits both.

Press them until you talk to someone who actually designed the pan and pickup. They originally made a pickup for it, but I've never seen the other part number listed (and I lost the paper I wrote that pickup part number on).

When I called and asked about Kevins problem above on his 6.4, I double and triple checked with the guy when I had him on the phone and he said the 18331 was absolutely the one I needed on a 6.1 and the issue on Kevins motor was the 6.4 pump. Lip service comes in huge commodity these days.

Yeah, kind of fed up with all of this. I had an R5/P7 that I was supposed to put in my car and chose not to because of all the fab necessary to get it to fit. What a mistake that was. I think I would have been further ahead by now with the custom mounts, headers, etc... for the R5. Definitely would have had nicer headers.

More lip service, they said Melling blah blah changed the pumps on us, blah blah. Mr. Tom said to send him my 18331 pickup and he would send me an 18336 pickup.
