Ron,
I have successfully used the Winners Circle competition oil pan on
several cars over the past 6 years. It has "wings" and a windage area
with a trap door. I know of at least a dozen other Midgets that are
using them and I know of no oil pressure issues with any of them. I've
run mine without an Accusump although most of the other people I know use
an Accusump along with the pan. I'm installing an Accusump my wife gave
me for Xmas before our first race this month. "Cheap insurance" as they
say.
I think WC has two designs, one with a removable windage tray so you can
clean out the pan more easily after an engine disaster. I think
Speedwell has a similar design. I believe it comes with a custom oil
pickup.
In the "olden days" people used to cut off the bottom of a stock sump,
then weld a few inches of another stock sump on it to creat a couple
extra inches of capacity. They'd extend the pickup, as well. A friend
of mine has an example that he took off an old 1098 race motor.
Good luck! See you at Mid-Ohio??
