On the contrary, I have an advanced degree in electrical engineering. I have not done this before but I do not see any reason why it will not work. I'd love to debate the merits of the idea if you are up for it.
Here it goes:
You have two series 12V batteries in a 24V system. The lower...
Understood but there is no reason why they couldn't have been improved.
Keep in mind that there are bypass valves for both the oil filters and the oil cooler which should make this a non-issue. Can you reference your source for the design intent of the oil filters draining back into the pan?

While that turbo has been widely claimed as from an LDS-427, I found a manual indicating that it was acutally an early LDT turbo. I don't have the info right at hand, though.

As J said, some of these ld engines had better crankshafts but not all of them. I have five of these motors and only one has the better crankshaft. I...
