Pace dry sump system

[moderndino]

Has anyone used Pace's dry sump pan and pump system? It's meant for Ford 3L and Jaguar.
It would make the pick-up issues go away. Mounting may present a problem if retaining AC.

I suspect that some exhaust modification would be needed where the front tube passes under the stock pan. This pan looks a bit thicker there. I expect this is because the kit was developed for the longitudinal mounted engine rather than transverse where exhaust isn't a concern going under the engine.
Either the alternator or the AC compressor would have to shift to make room for the pump.

It probably would not resolve the oiling problem completely on the early 2.5 (our engines) as it evacuates oil from the pan only, not the heads where the oil gathers on our engines. It may help if the oil capacity is increased (in oil tank, or oil bag as the Harley crowd calls it).
