Oil pan dimensions for a 4X4

 

[JPM]

I havent posted forever but i got my password fixed. In my time doing what i can to figure out how to put a gen 3 hemi in my 2001 dakota 4x4. I joined a facebook site and someone there has worked with milodon to make their oil pan work on 2 wheel and 4 wheel drives. he also has punched up motor mounts for a 4x4 as well. i Have to figure out how to contact him again but i ordered the oil pan and needed parts so i will tell you how it looks when i get it.

When was that, Milodon said move the engine back 3/4 of an inch...yea ok. Who is building the mounts?

[I swapped it]

Wait... The milodon pan doesn't work on the 4x4? They specifically told me that they did... 🤦🏼‍♂️
Good to k ow about the headers. Been thinking about getting the stock manifolds ceramic coated for $350. But might just look at aftermarket. But I'm not sure what would be best suited for this application that will also last.
And ya, as soon as I get to the point of making motor mounts, I plan on making extra sets for the 4x4.

I got under the truck and looked at things, I removed the trans mount and blocked it to the correct height, then slid the engine and transmission back 3/4 of an inch. It fit, but the heads are super close to the firewall! I don’t think there will be enough room on the trans crossmember to drill the 4 holes for the mount.

Milodon does now make a 4x4 pan. I helped them design it a month ago. I also have bolt in mounts that I can make for 4x4s.

I'd like to see the pics and dimensions on it for sure. Thinking about starting a swap on my 4x4 soon and the pan seems like the biggest hurdle.

What's the part number for that pan? I've been thinking about doing an LS instead of the HEMI because of the pan issues, but a HEMI pan would be a game changer.

And how much would you charge for mounts?

Tony, who did you work with at Milodon? Will they take back my 2WD pan?

I spoke with Tom at Milodon, they do have a 4X4 pan now with it's own part number 30996, the 2 wd pan is 30995. They are 2-3 months behind.
