So I'm in the process of converting a new hellcrate motor to a rear sump pan. I have the Milodon kit and everything seems to fit except:
Has anyone encountered this extended bolt previously? It supported the original stock oil pickup tube. Its also a main cap bolt on the#1 bearing and I believe it must have been torque-to-yield and shouldnt be re-used. A replacement should be installed on the #3 cap to support the new oil pickup tube IMHO.
I'm reluctant to re-use the bolt without some due diligence.
Does anyone know of any source for a new support bolt or some other solution? Frog Jones at Mopar Performance has been looking but no success so far.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
