getting ready to transplant the 455 into the little car, but I have some clearance issues down low. I'd like to bring the bottom of the oil pan up and inch or 3 Wondering if there is a shallow pan setup, or is a direct evac system "more better"?
would it be possible to run an inexpensive 2 stage dry sump pump for evac only, and then plumb the reservoir into the the stock oil pump via an external oil filter adapter -- and meet the oiling needs of the motor in mild street use? if so, what vendors offer a 2 stage pump? any production model cars use them that might be found in the junkyards?
