No oil pan tap? Even if I had to do that who cares it is a quick weld. Scavenge pump is no issue. Radiant head? You just have to insulate and make sure you improve air flow. Higher initial expense? Not sure where you came up with that? Even if it cost more who cares, These cars are enexpensive. Emissions cert? Who cares I do not live in CA.
