Milodon Chevy II pan vs. Schumann pump
 

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.
Phone for Stef's 732 367 8700
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.
