Lynn,

If you have a picture of the Mistral modification that would be good.

I don't need the info on modifying the pump, however your trumpet end on the pick-up tube is a good idea, perhaps a bigger plate and screen would be a good idea, as well as the baffle.

Tell me does the FD have twin inlets for the oil pump, I seem to remember something like that OR it could be something Mistral made up? Perhaps they used the FD housing?

Nothing yet. The Mistral web page is still up and has many pictures that should be captured, as well as this video.

 

Note the headers in the dyno cell shot. Bright orange. Note the heat muff covering the headers with a cooling air source when mounted on the airframe. Taking header heat overboard quickly would go a long way to reduce under cowl temps and cooling problems.
