I took the same approach to the offshoring of the American economy, with Lunati in 2007.

Lunati Pro crank and rods 3.875 stroke 4.165 bore. 421

Assembled this one and another for a guy I race with identical, only 434, in the same week.




I tried one of those pumps and ended up throwing away after trying everything to get it to work. The pump is mounted to far back so the oil rolls forward after lifting. I built a pan that worked best with baffles and steps. Then had Stef's build me a pan. Ended up with a Moroso billet pump that I was able to machine shorter. Going dry sump this year.


Any billet pump will do the OP, as long as it has no pickup to fall off.

I run a 5 quart pan with 30wt. Any time the oil pressure drops in shutdown only means it's short a quart of oil.

No dipstick for checking oil level necessary.

Straight STP oil treatment for oil, takes a little longer to make it back to the pan.

Try some 30wt. Smile
