3. My accumulator is piped to a seperate location out of the engine bay. The total piping/hoses provide a extra 1qt. total; for the system.

4. I have a Iron block/head (C5AE-H) HM built FE 427 sideoiler, pushing the old double nickel. 500+HP & 500+TQ. I'm sure your chosen system will serve your stroked 482, just as well as mine does for me. If properly installed.

5. My accumulator is located under the passenger (under carrage) seat. It works well on the street & the track. As I don't do much (knock on wood!) off roading.

6. I use a Morroso 3 qt. accumulator, with a 8.5 qt. baffled pan w/windage tray. The piping also adds 1 qt. This gives me a total of 12+ qts. at all times. Even when I'm driving hard into a corner, or pushing 7 grand. But Im sure whatever type accumulator you chose will serve you well.


I hope this helps! By the way great choice on your ride Not that I'm
Biased or anything

Thanks, that's really helpful. Could you help me understand how you piped it from the engine? Did you tap off the remote oil kit, or use the oil cooler piping?
