Apologies in advance but this is a tiptop question.
I'm fitting a volvo v8 into my 240 and need to modify the sump to clear the front crossmember. Im choosing the front and adding back the volume as big wings but I need to re-route my oil pickup line. One option is to run it inside the windage tray, there is plenty of room. The other option is to run it outside the sump.

Any advice or better ideas?

Am not aware of any manufacturers that put oil pick up lines outside the sump, so I'd keep it inside so that any holes just feed back into the sump rather than all over the road.

I take your points gents but wouldnt every turbo engine have external oil lines?

My preference would be to re route in side the sump.

Dry sump systems run oil lines outside...

and oil cooler lines do aswell
