Oil Pump - Chrysler 5.7/6.1L Hemi

The Melling Oil Pump for Chrysler 5.7/6.1L Hemi engines is a wet sump, internal circulation pump engineered to maintain consistent oil delivery across high-performance and street applications. Built as a direct replacement for Mopar Gen III Hemi platforms, this standard-volume pump ensures reliable lubrication under sustained engine loads, making it essential for builders restoring stock durability or maintaining recently modified Hemi powerplants. Whether you're servicing a daily-driver Dodge truck or supporting a freshly built performance engine, this pump delivers the dependable oil flow your rotating assembly demands.

This Melling pump operates as an internal wet sump design, meaning it pulls oil directly from the pan and circulates it through galleries at standard pressure, preventing starvation during normal driving and moderate boost scenarios. The one-inch inlet fitting ensures compatibility with factory pan pick-up tubes and aftermarket sumps, while the standard displacement volume maintains the oem pressure curve without requiring fuel injection or ignition recalibration. Weighing 3.23 lbs and measuring compact at 6.4 x 2.6 x 9.15 inches, installation integrates seamlessly into the timing cover cavity with no modifications to surrounding components, and the robust Melling construction resists cavitation and bearing wear even after extended service intervals.

Mechanic shops and Hemi enthusiasts rely on this pump for post-rebuild verification, warranty-compliant restorations, and preventative maintenance on high-mileage cores. If you've just had cylinder heads off for valve work, a cam swap, or bearing inspection, a fresh Melling pump eliminates the risk of installing a worn OEM unit that could compromise your fresh gasket seals and new bearing surfaces. The standard pressure rating suits naturally aspirated and lightly forced-induction builds, making it the go-to choice for 5.7L and 6.1L Hemi owners seeking reliable, proven circulation without exotic modifications.
