(1) Any real reason *not* to do this, aside from the cost?
(2) For people that have done this, what are the pros/cons? Happy you did it?
(3) Do you need a remote oil location kit (expensive) for one of these, or is there a good way to do it without?
(4) What size is best for a 427 SO, stroked to 482?
(5) What is the best location?
(6) Is Accusump the way to go?

Thanks!
No reason not to, Accusump is a good way to go and a popular choice here, Moroso also good and there are others you can google. A 1 QRT system will work just fine for pre-oiling, if you want some "reserve" for maintaining good oil flow through hard cornering then get the 3 QRT system. Go to the Accusump website and read recommended accumulator size for your intended application.
