i have some pics of the install of my accusump in my gallery. i'm not sure i would do it again, but then again as tommy pointed out, maybe i'll feel differently if it saves my motor.
a good oil pan with baffling is much more important.

Accusump
I don't want to sound too pessimistic, but I blew my engine last year in an autox with a 2qt accusump connected to the rear of the main oil gallery. I lost pressure long enough in a sweeping corner to seize the number 1 rod bearing and break the rod at the big end. The pan was a trap door Aviad. If you plan on any serious cornering you should go dry sump, in the end it will be cheaper. |

I have a simple accusump mount for SPFs
tc_sj,
I have a very simple no weld, no drill means for mounting the accusump in the SPF. Send me your e-mail and I will send you the drawings.

I have SPF 2238 and I'm looking for an example of an Accusump (3 qt) install. I'm not sure where to mount the thing and I was hoping that you would be willing to share the trails and tribulations of your install in the hopes I can learn from others.
Thanks,
David

Mounting an Accusump..
Hey, Dave...maybe I can help a little...
I have my Accusump mounted on the horizontal cross member, between the radiator and the from of the engine. Dennis Olthoss welded two small tabs on that cross member, and used them to mount the canister to with some aircraft clamps. The electric valve is on the drivers side of the canister, and a pressue guage on the other. I'm not sure - just don't remember - if we had to modify the Canton remote filter adapter, but I don't think so.
Plumbing is only a single hose - again, if I remember correctly - from the canister to the remote oil filter mounting plate on the same cross member.
I can check when I get back to the house - I'm in the office today - and snap a couple of pictures, if you would like me to. Drop a line and let me know.
Just FYI...I'd give Dennis O a call and ask his input. They may have devised a new mounting scheme since mine was installed eight years ago. Check out their website at http://www.olthoff-racing.com for their numbers...tell Dennis I asked you to call him.
