The sprint car guys run the oil pump off of the front of the cam. You can also run a fuel pump off of the front of the oil pump.
Some say this transfers harmonics to the valve train and transfer heat to the fuel pump.
Whatcha think?
The reason I ask is my block has no provisions for an oil pump and I would like to do a crank mounted starter on a A/fuel deal. (removable)
I really don' t want to do a dry sump, rather a single stage wet sump and a belt drive pump would probably be in the way of the starter set-up.
