I'm guessing that the pressure section of a dry sump pump won't make much of a lift pump to pick oil up from a sump, they are designed to have the input oil higher than the pump inlet. What about a...

You can get such a thing, these ones I bought in England years ago and they were made in China. Best bet, I reckon, is to use the real Ford ones and an adapter plate.

Is that the same as an MGB rack? It looks remarkably similar. Is it the same rack for LHD and RHD? Looks like you'd just mount it the other way up.
