I have a 1660 crossflow already set up dry sumped. it came with a wilccox oil pump and a cosworth pump, both external running from a gear on the side of the engine.Firstly i suppose i should check the condition of both pumps thus to determine which pump to use.Also i would like to mount the oil tank to the nearside inner wing as i would like to retain the backseat and rear shelf.The idea is a pretty stock looking road car, with a lot more under the bonnet. Appreciate any ideas or opinions.Plus HELLO to every one, this is my first post thanks. kirk

I will try and get a few pics of the engine, maybe give you a better idea.. P.s wings should straighten up once they are bolted on..
