Hi Richard,

I know you are the man, but I have the Accusump plumed directly to the canton oil block with a -12 and 45# air pressure. With oil at operating temperature, the system will actually work well for a short amount of time. I don’t think it’s a fix for a poor pan or pickup design but it does work for a short duration in hard cornering. You know I’ve had some issues in this area along with running a fairly shallow sump. There’s just not enough room below the pan rail for a deeper sump and I won’t have it hanging down below the main frame rails. I’ve found that, for me and in this car, it is the next best thing to a dry sump. However, I do agree with you.

Vector,

Yes, motor is solid mounted via front motor plate and bellhousing. The tail mount is soft mounted as not to triangulate or stress the tranny / bellhousing.

That girl is messing up someone else’s seats, not mine.

John
