I know others have all ready done this type of conversion.
I also respect those who have extensive experience and skill in fabrication, and machining. Both of which I do not have to any great degree.
Still for the last month I have been wondering how, and if a oil filter could be adapted to the oil pump. My thinking so far goes as follows:
What if I was to modify the oil pump (rotor/gear) cover, to allow for the oil under pressure to exit from that 'end' of the pump, then travel to a spin-on oil filter near the fuel pump, and then return to the oil pump for delivery to the engine.. How the oil gets returned to the main oil galley has yet to be discovered
What I am wondering right now is: do you think the oil pump cover would be a suitable place to get the oil supply for the oil filter?
