I am having a 2270 built. Currently the oil galleys are tapped on the front of the case near the oil filter console location. This is where the oil will return. The plan is to run a remote oil filter and probably a front mounted oil cooler. The question is should I get oil output right off the front of the pump with a T1 pump cover or should I just plumb it out of the tapped oil galley on the front of the case? I know the T1 cover requires motor mount mods.

Mine just has a console between the oil filter and the engine...probably the easiest way to get a connection.

Mine just has a console between the oil filter and the engine...probably the easiest way to get a connection. Sure that's a common way to add an external oil cooler. But since my case is apart and the galleys have been drilled and tapped, I can go right off the case and just eliminate the oil filter console. With a remote filter mount I can run a larger filter too. |

If you don't want to reinvent the wheel, you could use the full-flow oil pump the TypeIV Store sells. It has a cover that has two fittings for your oil lines already tapped. You do need to slightly modify the passenger side motor mount flange.

If you do a proper full flow system you need to modify the one engine mount to clear the line/fitting coming out of the pump cover.
