Milodon Chevy II pan vs. Schumann pump

Paul Merolla · 05-07-2014, 12:35 AM

I just realized tonight that the new Schumann oil pump I plan on using has a 3/4" inlet instead of the standard 5/8" like my old M55. Now I can't find a 3/4" pickup to work with my pan. Milodon makes some, but it doesn't look like they'll work with the 31060 pan. Anyone have an idea? I'm thinking maybe I could get a bushing machined to fit over the 5/8" pickup and weld it on...

Have you talked with Duane Jazynka, yet?

Not about this, but I sent him the video your dad posted with Duane racing Bick at TVD! Very cool.

I had Stef's Oil Pan weld a 3/4 pick up and screen on my different oil pan
than yours,but I would think they could fix you up. You will like the pump.

Good Luck

My dads Chevy II has the same oil pan as you have . I used a big block pump with a kit that bolts on where the bottom plate of the pump would normally be . it has a screen on the bottom that acts as the pick up . I really like this set up because there is no pick up to fall off . The big block pump is only for strength as I've had small block pumps break at the neck in the past . I think I have pics I could text you if you have any interest in this set up.

Thanks guys for the suggestions. Billy, I saw those and it looks like a great idea, but I think I would lose the improved bypass on the Schumann. I ordered a pickup from Canton and will have to modify it for the deeper pan. I'll take some pics of whatever I come up with and post them here.

Let me know if you need a hand with anything.

I did the same thing on a big block, used the Schumann main body with the CVR billet pickup. There's some machining involved but it's been working well.
