62-87 318 Dodge Pump

The MELLING 62-87 318 Dodge Pump (Model M-72HV) is a high-volume internal oil pump engineered for wet sump systems in Mopar V6 engines. This pump is designed to maximize oil circulation and maintain consistent pressure delivery across the RPM range, making it essential for engine longevity and reliable operation in both street and performance applications.

As an internal pump operating on the wet sump principle, the M-72HV draws oil directly from the pan and routes it through the engine's oil galleries under standard pressure specifications. The high-volume design ensures sufficient flow to lubricate all bearing surfaces, particularly important in V6 engines where proper oil delivery directly impacts bearing wear and thermal management. The pump's compact envelope (5.9 x 4.65 x 6.05 inches) and 4.32-pound weight allow for straightforward installation in original mounting positions without requiring frame modifications or auxiliary cooling systems.

Buyers rebuilding or restoring 1962–1987 Dodge 318 V6 engines rely on this pump as a core component during engine assembly. Whether replacing a worn original unit or upgrading during a complete rebuild, the M-72HV provides the flow rate and pressure curve needed to maintain baseline performance standards. MELLING's reputation in the OEM remanufacturing and aftermarket pump sector supports confidence in this product's engineering specifications.

This pump is sold individually and is compatible exclusively with 1962–1987 Dodge 318 cubic-inch V6 engines equipped with standard oil system configurations. Verification of engine date code and original pump specification before ordering ensures proper fitment and avoids compatibility issues.
