well i changed my mind and went external for the pickup ,there was no room in the sump so it was lots easyer to go external ,so i tapped the oil pump for dash 10 and made a hose to the sump ,and on the inside of the sump i made a pickup to -10 and welded it in the sump .... lots of hard work
it is running bike carbs and its a kit you can buy from the UK. The manifold is really nice i will post a pic tomorrow.
The dato cranks are very good and there a good option but the scat crank is a good thing for the $ - its fine to 8000rpm.
People have been using the dato crank for years and they are much better than the ford crank and most likely the scat one too.
