Milodon Oil Pan Installed F Body Oil Pan
Since this motor is destined for a third-gen Camaro, we tracked down an F-body-specific Milodon oil pan. We first spun the assembly over to test-fit the Milodon oil pump. Next we set the pump in a vise and press-fit the oil pick-up. We dropped in the pump shaft and bolted the pump onto the rear main cap. Then we set the gasket and front/rear seals and set the Milodon pan on top. We locked it all down using a set of ARP oil pan bolts.
