I found this informatiom usefull as I run the long discontinued # 31390 Milodon rear sump A body oil pan that has the crossover tube for the tie rod to pass through. These used a rear drop down ( straight down ) oil pickup that attatches to the bottom of the oil pump. It also used a deep rotor kit that is no longer available!!!
It has been frustrating constantly searching for parts to keep it all going.
I like the looks of the Kevko pickups and wonder if they will work with my pan?
If any of you members have the deep rotor kit or the pan I use I am willing to buy....

I have the same 31390 pan, it's 11" deep now but I'm shortening it to about 8.75" deep. Also relocating the accel baffle up and putting it at a 45° angle. I don't know your application, but I'm actually going to shorten the M-72 pump gears and body by .100" for a 8000+ rpm drag race motor. I have the Kevco pickup for the 9", and it's actually a bit short at 8.5" from the block pan rail, but does clear the steering link tube.
