I am using the Milodon external oil pickup lines through the oil pan, so the internal oil pickup hole needs to be blocked-off.
I used a ¾” freeze plug in the BMP block hole (with Loctite), and for good measure also made a retention plate so the freeze plug could never fall into the engine. The retention plate replaces the ½ NPT adaptor that comes with the BMP block. Loctite the ¼ allen head bolts and torque to 100 lb-in.


Nice detail!
Did similar on the "Pre-Callies" MP/World/FCA iron.
Pic added for a handy part number.
