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....

It has been awhile. But I seem to remember that long rotor set was used in a high volume Hemi pump or some other application. They went into a high volume housing, stuck out a quarter inch and used an aluminum cover made to fit them - made by Milodon I think. When they dried up, the only way to get them was spend the money for that pump and rob them out of it. I'll bet they re still being made and put into something. I wouldn't be afraid of modifying a stock pump housing for the right stuff if you could locate something.

Seems the choices are getting to be cobble something together, go with the Titan pump or go to a dry sump.


That long rotor kit was made so you could just drop the gears into you pump housing and drop on their pump cover/pickup and you had a HV oil pump. You can just skip all that and use a HV pump. The pickup system for that pan is very adjustable.


I got very lucky. I have that pan on my street car and that’s all I’ll use if I have it. Bit of a PITA to drop the center link to get the engine out but it’s worth is. I have another pan waiting for my next build and it has the swinging pickup.

It’s a shame they don’t make that pan anymore. Street guys just won’t buy them because theythink they hang too low ( I never scrape mine and it’s at OE ride height) or the center link thing turns them off.

Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston
