Mine is low mounted. It's even with the balancer. I run a pump to the oil level sensor hole.

if you dont mind me asking what kind of pump are you using and do you know the thread pitch on the level sensor or did you weld a fitting?

I used the turbowerx base pump. Has performed flawlessly. I has a -12 line in and out of it. Into the pan is a -12 to 3/4". I opened the hole a bit then tapped it with a 3/4" npt tap.

I've also had good luck with the turbowerx base pump. I ran a -10an from a small sump I made to the pump & them -10an to the timing cover.

I return it into the oil level sensor hole in the oil pan.
