milodon also makes a pan which extends to the sides rather than deep

I have the Milodon also. Your engine looks NICE, bet it sounds awesome. A big difference from old engine. In a week it will be slow again. LOL
Its best to do it right the 1st time.

Cheers. Budget kinda blew out abit so it looks like a couple of quiet months ahead HA! Ended up ordering a Milodon 6 quart from Summit. 440's are like hen's teeth down here, so there aren't too many parts available. Price was good but shipping is killing me!

After cracking the sump, ended up putting the stock one back on, as well as the previous 850 Edelbrock carb and mallory dizzy for the break-in 1000kms, mainly because that setup ran no problem. Just wanted to eliminate too many variables going wrong.

But no leaks and smooth as silk - so far. The guy really did a (meticulouslyanal) good job. Full respect to any of you out there who have attempted something of this scale in your own garage!

ended up ordering the 30761 - deep part of the pan extends abit further forward and back, rather than the bat-wing design. actually looks like a stocker, which i like.

Hey good job. Hope you have many hours and miles of enjoyment from the rebuild. Russ.

 

[Basketcase]

that's what mine has. thought it was stock till the first time I changed the oil and there wasn't anything showing up on the dipstick after 6 quarts, then I got the ruler out.

 

[RKNRLR]

Ive put up about 700 miles since the rebuild. Decided to redo the headers (and exhaust) before putting a new ingition system in, as they were burning through a couple of my plugs, and clanging against just about everything under the bonnet.

Should have her back in a couple of days, pics and hopefully videos soon!

 

[RKNRLR]

Finally got my new Holley XP on and a new MSD dizzy and coil to boot.

Two thumbs up on your 68 good job man

 

[quikbird]

Looking good

 

[RKNRLR]

thanks guys. i built it to drive, definitely could have squeezed out a few more ponies, but i really wanted something that i can sit in and drive across the country - while doing burnouts!

Credit to Wayne from A1 Automotive in Miranda, really did a great job with the engine!

 

[RKNRLR]

Finally put some wheels on the bird - and some decent rubber!
