Ok, so iv got a Intek 40 sitting around collecting dust and have been thinking of doing a vertical to horizontal conversion to it, I can solve all the problems except the oiling issue. Seeing as how its full pressure lube can I just route the pumps pickup to were the oil will be settled? Iv thought about putting some type of reservoir were the dipstick connects to the block so that it can hold the right amount of oil and not to much in the engine so the crank weights clear the oil level. I'm no engineer so I would love it if someone could point out the reasons why this setup wont work im sure someone has thought about doing it.
