Oil Pump Pick-Up for 31650 Oil Pan

The MILODON Oil Pump Pick-Up for 31650 Oil Pan is a bolt-on lubrication component engineered for high-performance Ford FE-Series engines running deep-pan oil systems. This 6-inch deep pan pickup delivers consistent oil supply to the pump under sustained acceleration, cornering, and road-race conditions where standard pickups lose prime. The design minimizes cavitation and surge effects that compromise bearing protection during spirited driving.

MILODON's pickup geometry and tube diameter are optimized for FE-Series pump inlet requirements, ensuring proper flow rate without restricting circulation. The bolt-on format integrates directly into the 31650 pan without requiring pan modifications, simplifying installation for engine builders and weekend mechanics. At 0.68 lbs and compact footprint (7.85 × 2.8 × 9.7 inches), the pickup adds negligible weight while maximizing sump capacity utilization on deep-pan setups.

This pickup addresses a critical need for FE-Series engines in road-race and street-performance builds where oil starvation has historically been a failure point. Track drivers and engine builders select MILODON pickups for their reliability under sustained G-loads and aggressive driving. The component is sold individually and pairs with the 31650 pan as a matched system for complete lubrication management.

Ford FE-Series engines—including the 390, 406, 410, 427, and 454 cubic-inch displacements—remain popular in vintage drag racing, hot rodding, and restoration projects. The deep-pan configuration increases oil volume for better cooling and extended drain intervals, making it standard in serious competition and high-output builds. MILODON's pickup ensures that increased sump capacity translates to stable pressure and uninterrupted supply.
