Didnt think abot clearance - Thanks dattoman - wings it is then.
I have been thinking about how to best do that and make it look as 'factory' as i can - trying to avoid an ugly looking box on the side of the sump.
Thinking that i can cut up an spare a10/12 sump and weld that to the side. If I can utilse the original steel with the standard pressings, I should look as factory as possible.
Since Im only chasing a couple of extra litres, not an extra 10, I think that should work. - unless I can find one pre-done at a fair price point.
As for the drain back valves Datmado, I recon you want one in the pickup so that oil is kept all the way to the rocker oilers if possible.
The oil cooler (if i can) will be on the return side of the pump - machine up a plate that goes between the filter and the filter screw point - have two threaded fittings, in and out to the cooler so its part of the filter circuit.
With a higher volume oil pump and keeping everything in circuit, I should avoid having to use an external pump to drive the oil cooler
