IO470 inverted oil

[jmodguy]

Anyone have any experience with/knowledge of an inverted oil system in a Conti IO470? I am aware of the T-34 system, I'm thinking more along the lines of Christen or Raven.
Thanks!

No experience with anything but a Christen on Lycomings, but I’m curious: what airframe is that for?

As long as you get it to hook up the same, should work the same. Maybe someone knows how Art Scholl did his Chipmunks.

That's kind of what I was thinking. There is a vacuum pump pad that could be the upside down pickup like the Lyc. I was just wondering if anyone had done it before.

If you are not planning to push, skip the inverted oil, and run the crankcase vent out the tail.
