From all the research I’ve done, and I’m not an expert but I believe we need a center sump. I will post a picture of my engine before disassembly. If memory serves me right the truck engine is in fact a rear sump.
LMAO pretty sure you are on your own once you start down the Whipple road! Hah! That thing looks like a beast. Certainly does not look like you are going back stock. You should start a build thread. Have fun.
