It shouldn't be a problem as long as all the flow is downhill, and the crank doesn't get submerged. If capacity does get to be a concern, you can always include an intermediate tank inline somewhere.
Just throwing ideas out there.....

The intermediate tank had occurred to me. But I really don't think I'll have to go that far. It's an option, though... Done it before.
I'm more worried about the starter. That's a butt kicker.

'82 C-20 - The new Revcon Diesel Conversion Doner
'72 Revcon (doin' my best to put a '93 NA 6.5L in it)
What about some of the racing starters like a Tilton ?

The Powermaster Starter FITS!!!!!!!!
Now I have to make the oil pan. It's going to be VERY close to the counter ballances on the front 2/3 of the engine. I've not seen anything like it, but I don't see how it's an issue. All it does is splash around down there. As long as it drains to the sump...
It sounds kinda easy. Am I missing something? Other then interference, is there an issue with the pan valley being close to the crank?

So what happened?
I own a 72 Revcon. For now it runs great and has only 26,000 miles but in the future a diesel conversion might be soemthing to look at.
In my searches i keep coming back to this thread that ended in late 2007 but if the OP is still out there I'd love to hear how it turned out.
