As another uneducated, but curious swapper, I noticed, when I was
rebuilding(poorly i might add) the svx engine, there seemed to be two
more oil-pump fixtures that could be used for something else.
I'm sure they were meant for an external oil cooler, but maybe they
could be used with an accusump-style setup.
