thanks Jeff, so far..

PUMP:
height/depth: Milodon 1-15/16
Melling 1-3/4

COVER:
height/depth: Milodon 1-3/8
Indy 1-11/32

height/depth gain: 7/32 or 0.21 in. Not even 1/4in.

Hmmphh.

Thanks again Jeff, Bob, appreciate your help on this.

I should probably look at getting Andy to fabricate a modification of his cover type.

I wonder what the standard Hemi (1) oil pump & (2) cover height/depth is.
