Thanks for sending him an email. He needs to hear from FE owners. I am #3 in his production line schedule. I think he will build me one and I will have to pay the development costs. Chances are you would get the next one quite a lot cheaper. If three or more were interested, I am sure we could get him to build it. I have told him I want one if he will just build it. Will keep you informed.

This discussion got me thinking, didn't some of the older FEs have oil slingers at one time?

Seems like I remember seeing this somewhere...

Obviously, you wouldn't want these on a high RPM motor (not to mention they'd be a little harsh on the windage tray). Just curious.

Competition-spec 427 Cobras had dry sump oil systems, according to a spec sheet that I have seen. I want one on my full-race Hillman Imp and I want one in my Cobra, when the day dawns, too.

Russ, I just emailed him about this as well. Allthough after seeing the 10k number thrown out I have to say that that would be beyond my $$.

P.S. Just got a reply to my email, here it is;

"Not at the moment. I have a customer who has been begging me to do it. It is in the que and a month or two down the line. I would say if you are interested give me a line back after the first of the year. If you are going to attend the pri show next month look us up and I will have some sample pans to look at.
