[QUOTE=wpoplo;31825Could a person redesign the oiltank and lower it down on firewall to keep it from draining into the engine? Any advice would be appreciated.[/QUOTE]

Pat,
I know of one owner who moved the oil tank to a position lower on the firewall. Mine is lower, but I moved the engine for W/B that created a little more room. I would suspect the left side might be the best side - I can't remember where my friend put his. His had straps that mounted the tank to the firewall rather than attaching it to the engine mount.

I have looked long and hard over the years for a taller more slender tank from the Motorcycle ranks that would fit better. For some reason, they all seem to be pretty much the same diameter. I have also thought of having one welded up in a custom shape but never followed up on that idea - round has some definite disadvantages fit and location wise.
