I agree with you that braking does generate more Gs. But the engine RPMs are also in a deceleration mode...most of the time (especially if we're talking a street vehicle). On the other hand, while accelerating, you're more likely to be spinning-up the RPMs much higher and will be in a much more oil deprived situation versus braking. I'd choose a front-sump as the lesser of two evils.

As for this build...Todd you're the man! I love what you're doing and the progress you're making. I'm inspired and am watching and learning from you as you go so that it'll be easier on me as I do my own conversion. Can't wait to see it all unfold.
