A recent tech question in Mopar Action dealt with the need for an oil pan built for turning corners while maintaining adequate ground clearance for street use. Milidon to the rescue! Now that I am delving deeper into the handling aspects of these cars, I guess I'll need to upgrade this area as well. I'm going to need a second job or sell a car to afford all these upgrades!

This is the new small block pan I helped Milodon develop the fitment on. This basic sump design is a race proven setup used for the SCCA A/Stock racers and such with GM's.

Works great and has ultimate ground clearance. A lot of people are buying these for non handling reasons. They are just tired of beating up HP deep pans that stick below the K-member.

There are FIVE gate doors to this.

A quick Google search sez around $400 for a 318/340 milodon pn#31590 road race pan.

IIRC, the same price or a little cheaper. You need to buy the special pickup that goes with each pan too.

Mike Mosley did it and it didn't sound like a ton of mods.

Here's a big block Milodon pan in the ultra tight 73-76 A-body spool K-member. A 67-72 biscuit K-member might take less driver side mods.

Highly recommend Kevko pans; very afforable and nice fitment. Thier street stock fitment pans are like $180 for the pan and $40 for the pickup.

Those are 1/2" deeper than stock and 3/4" deeper than the Milodon road race pan. If you running a car for handling with the front end low you should add a skid plate with that Kevco.

The Kevko's are better than stock, but seem to focus on fore and aft oil control. They are less expensive than the Milodon road race pans. But there is a world of difference in the features and benefits.

Milodon 31581 pan with external pickup. Right now I am having issues with the pickup fitting being too close to the Hooker Super Comp Hemi Headers.

I own an original bb stock car oil pan that has that shape, but is not that well baffled on the inside. It is much like the very old type written Direct Connection papers descibe, where the second oil pickup can be added to an external pump. It can hold 10 to 12 quarts of oil. I did use this on my first front engine dragster until I could afford a proper drag pan. It worked fine.

I thought that I would start out keeping it simple with the hemi/sixpack, 6 quart pan and either a mopar or Milodon windage tray. I still have to add the skid plate on the k member. I want to make sure the TTI headers and other possible steering mods will allow a change to a better oil pan.

It's hard to do work on your ride when it's in paint prison. Hopefully it's worth the wait.

Too many cars, too many parts, too little coin, too little space to work in, too little time left to make it all happen! Update: down to one ride, still too many parts, a little more jingle in the pocket, gaining space, and it's going to happen this year!

I'm probably gonna have to bite the bullet on one of these for mine. An accumulator is an option but it won't gain me ground clearance.

How does that LA pan fit the early A bodies?


They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.
