M72HV bottom plate

[WacDad Miller]

As I have posted before, im trying to gain knowledge of oiling mods for my build. Thanks everyone for your input. It seems that there is a lot of attention to the bottom oil pump plate, specifically a bottom plate for a larger oil pump pick up tube. Anybody have part numbers, or where to get these parts?

DC/MP part #? (Don't have the proper catalog handy atm...)
All out of production, hunting one down on Ebay or FBMP is the only option there.
Kevco makes a dual pickup pump.
Dual Inlet Mopar Pickup Tube
They also make covers with welded-in pickups for various depth pans.
What they all have in common is that they only work with a rear sump pan.
You could maybe, possibly mod their M101-1 plate and pickup into a center sump, but I sincerely doubt that it'll clear anything close to a stock dimension pan.
What is your build, and how many RPMs do you seriously expect to turn?
Even the old routine of hunting down a pump with a suitable casting and drilling it out for a homemade 1/2" pickup in the stock location is overkill for a street or even most bracket motors.

My build is pretty mild, however, I still want to do this because of the what I have planned for use. To spin it when i desire without any worries about oiling. Maybe time on the track, and definately a driver. Then I will eventually continue to make it better. Its slways better to make the bottom end as bullet proff as possible for the future upgrades now. I may just build my own plate if I cant find one. Its just nuts and bolts! Thanks for the info.

So you have a rear sump pan? If not, you can’t use a cover with the pick up on it.

Edit: while I personally love the dual pickup and mine is going back together with one they really don’t do much until 7k plus rpm.

It might be 6500 or a bit lower if you are still using a 50 grade oil. That would be an entirely different conversation.

Sounds like you're trying to unnecessarily complicate things just for the sake of saying you did it. So then why not just go dry sump.
Good luck whatever you decide to do!

My opinion here is the same as in your other thread. The mods you’re asking about are beyond the scope of the build you’re doing. A stock magnum with proper rod/mains clearance, tight lifter bores, and an HV pump (I add the high pressure spring also) will be more than you’ll likely ever need. I also baffle the stock pan to keep the pickup covered. If you’re road racing there is some modifications to do to the sides of the pan to help oil control but you said this is a driver. Why don’t you share the “future upgrades” so we can better guide you.
