Why not use a stock pump with a stock cover and a aftermarket spin on adapter for a remote filter lines.I have pick up a few from our local NAPA store for aprox $20.I probably have a few lying around the shop.
Bob... I bought the Milodon pump assuming it would be a high quality piece, and as an insurance policy on the engine to some degree. I may be a bit misguided but I still have a niggling feeling about using a stock pump on a high dollar motor... are the stock pumps really that good?
If so then it may be worth a go.???
90% of our bracket engines use a stock high volume pump with Indy cover plates .Indy makes a remote cover plate as well.

...If it's the height of the pump body adding to the problem, would a Melling H/V pump body (staying with your H/V plan) be shorter? Helping in the cover thickness problem also. If so, could you then bring the oil into the blocks front (out side) port entree. ...Or is the difference in heights between your pump & the Melling 63HV to little to help?
thanks Jeff, do you have a Melling pump or the height measurement? or a Std H/V Hemi pump height measurement?
...Just went to measure it(melling H/V) before you posted & my caliper's battery went dead, but its a hair under 1.75" without a gasket.

Bob, do you have the height measurement of your high volume pump? Any pics of the Indy cover?
...I went to the garage to take some pic's of my Indy cover. I "think" it is the same cover as the remote cover but machined to except to spin on adapter, someone correct me if I'm wrong. I'll post the pic's with some measurement's too, depending on how good the pic's are. back in a few.

...Pic's of Indy Maxx cover with spin on adapter. ...EDIT: "If" you could cut off that rear entree port & flush plug it, that would save ~5/8".

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.
