Chevrolet Experimental Oil Pan, Oil Pump and Pickup
OCTARD:
I'm posting some pictures of an experimental oil pan, oil pump and pickup.
Per the owner, Mark Schwartz:
Zora Duntov designed it, then had Smokey do testing on it. Smokey built an engine to run it on and them built a stand that allowed him to be able to rock it around at all angles. The bottom was cut out and a window glued in to be able to be sure that the pickup tube would swivel properly. Smokey ended up with the thing and sold it at one of his garage sales. I instantly recognized the oil pump as it is pictured in books that Smokey wrote. The way I found out most of what I know about the thing is from talking to Zora Duntov at the Palm Springs vintage races one year. Zora really was a very nice person and very happy to tell you about things he had done over the years he was at GM.
