Super nice people to deal with and look at the differance between the Milodon disaster and Armondos
Armondos comes with the pickup. Milodon was extra.
Milodon caused an oil pressure drop at 4000+ rpms. No one from milodon knows why and it doesn't happen on all engines?????
I never had an issue with Armondos pan, I don't work for them nor know them personally.
This is in hopes it saves one person from going through the crap I did with the Milodon pan. Thank
God my engine wasn't damaged with the milodon pans issues.
This isn't to say there aren't other excellent pans out there. I'm just trying to steer you to one of them.

I am a fan of Basset pans myself. I have a Basset 14 quart

Are you looking for a front or rear pick-up ? And what's your budget. You can spend $300 or $1,000.
Had a 460 yrs ago that had a front pick up ran great never an issue with the baffles they installed.
Have run a Milodon edit> It's a simple Dooley with two baffles, on the 565 since '93 rear pick-up never a problem. Relativley inexpensive compaired to the Steph's I just purchased.
As far as oil pumps go a the Mellings pumps are good. Their Hi-Per pumps are very good , but the new Jon Kaase pump is the best "stock" style pump on the market. You can get it front or rear pick-up.
