I want to thank all of you for the advice.  It sounds like the consensus

is to not

use a scavenge pump and to use gravity.  Since I can not raise the turbo I am
looking into the possibility of fabricating an aluminum oil pan that has

slightly

more capacity, horizontally. I believe that if the pan were more square the
horizontal capacity would increase. This means the oil level could be

lower but

still have the same capacity as it was originally and then I could do the

gravity

drain plan..  Any comments on this idea before I start cutting aluminum

plate?

That sounds like a workable plan Chris. No room to lower the pan?

good.
