Little Big Chief - Part II: Assembling The Long-Block - Pontiac Tech

So the pickup could be positioned properly, the oil pump was trial-fitted to the block. Since an aftermarket Milodon oil pan was used, Craig measured the height of the pickup from the pan rail. This dimension was then checked on the new oil pan to make sure the pickup would sit in the proper location. It worked out to be 1/4-inch from the bottom, just what was desired. With the oil system preassembled and everything checked, the oil pump was removed and the pickup welded into place. Then the pump was reinstalled and torqued to 45 lb-ft. View Related Article
