What engine oil to put in my SBF

I checked pan-to-pickup clearance, trap door operation, tried different oil fill levels and more. Don't know about the small block.

I'd save my money on this pan and use the money for something else.

The Accusump does seem to work fine.

Thanks, Tom.

Oh, ehe. Sarcasm? Well, I'm not always awake... Anyway- there are those who say I should switch to the Canton sum w/ pick- up.

I'm currently using the OE pick- up, and as you may know, home-made kickout, baffled & trap doored sump. Some say the OE pick-up is trash. I don't know.

Nice to know the (Canton) Accusump works. What I'm considering now is if I should plumb it to the rear or the front of the engine; does it matter??? (The World block have aol- gallery plugs at more than one location in the block).
