Swing pick-up in oil pan

Has anyone used a swing type oil p/u in a hemi oil pan? Running a TFX in a dragster.

Thanks, Glenn

 

they used to run them years ago..if you like your motor spend the extra money and buy a Mikey Williams pan...they work..Dave

oil pan

Dave, I have one on there now. When the chutes deploy, no oil pressure. I have it apart now, so I want to rectify the problem. Wet sump, 71/2 deep in the rear. Have max amount of oil in it.
Thanks

 

I was running an older moroso pan and always had an oil pressure problem..and it was a fixed pickup but it was small now with the williams pan the pickup is around 4inx4in..now have lots of pressure.Dave

Pick Up

Pete I Have A Swing Arm Pu I Have No Problem At All But My Pan As A Winddage Tray And A Swinging Baffle That Closes On Decel. Hope That Helps Steve

 

Glen, I use a Moroso 3 qt accusump. Not alot of extra weight and the extra 3 qt's makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Really the oil pressure never drops start to finish and it's super easy to install.

 

oil pan

Glenn, If you don't mind my asking, what is the "max amount of oil"? I have a similar size pan that I fill just about up to the mains. I figure at least 5 qts of the pan oil is trapped up top of the engine by the end of the 1/4mi.

 

JM, we run about 14qts. Anymore and it pukes it out the breather hoses. Thanks for all the replies. I'll look into that Jody. The oil is sloshing forward obviously. I need to keep it trapped closer to the p/u or have the p/u follow the oil or both.

Thanks Bob and everyone else, and
jody. An oil accumulator apparently solved our finish line oil pressure problem.
