Belt Driven Oil Pump (Non dry sump)

Great pics and intel, gents. I really like the idea of getting the pump out of the pan...I also like the 'symmetry' it would add to the engine with only running an alternator.

I'll be running a Mustang II style front end in my 65 Falcon. I know this is generally rear sump. Would a custom oil pan be able to be made that is much shallower in the front area where the oil pump would originally have gone to allow the motor to be set lower?

From the must II stuff I've seen the location of the Rack is usually behind the location of the pump area of the pan. Not sure you gain anything, unless you going to do a way set back installation?

hmmm...I can't seem to find any pics at the moment of a MII in a Falcon...but this is another pic of a K-member in a 65 Falcon with a small block motor...crossmember would be in about the same place.

hey windsor, do you have anymore info on this falcon?

Hey Jason... a guy from yellowbullet sent me that when I was asking about Kmembers for classic mustangs/falcons. He built it himself and says he can make more. That's a small block motor but don't have any other info on it.

I like all his bracing underneath to add strength. It is similar to what I have done but looks nicer.
