It's a damn shame too because once upon a time European Motor Parts
Importers was the sh!t.
Now EMPI stands for cheap Chinese piece of crap.

I hate to say this; but most of the current Empi stuff is junk. For the
most part it is Chinese copies of original stuff. I have come to the
conclusion the Chinese can't reproduce anything according to specs. I avoid
using Empi stuff whenever possible.

Dan is correct. The last two EMPI ones I bought required extensive grinding
to make room for the bolts to attach to the engine. I even used socket head
cap screws to help. The last one I bought could not be modified enough to
make it useful. It's still in my parts box if anyone wants it.

I run this one:

Some of the empi ones I looked at were junk (buyer beware)
It has never hit anything.

it is much heavier than let's say a Westy. It has been suggested to me to
perhaps add a deep oil sump, with the idea being that more oil will help the
engine that will be working hard moving such a heavy beast stay cooler. Do
you think it is a good idea?

worried about extending the engine closer to the ground? I don't imagine
doing any crazy off roading adventures with this Bus, it is currently in
not-so-great-a-shape so it is odd just imagining it moving at all.
