That sump looks good,
I would make the corner next to the steering rack dead square, to stop oil traveling up and over the large curve you have there under breaking, also the wings would be much better if they had flat tops, the same level as the oil will be at, that way when cornering the oil cannot fill the large gap you have there above the oil level, where as if the tops of the wings were flat with the oil level the oil has nowhere to go with a good windage tray.
Did you make a windage tray for it? It would cure the engine breaking problem.
Basicly a flat plate at the same level as the oil with about 6 x 5/8" holes drilled for oil return about 2" in from the edge of the windage tray plate, and a flared edge turned downwards so oil can easily go down but not back up, you can do this with a ball pein hammer and a suitable socket each side of the plate in a vice, works a treat
Also with the pickup pipe, try your best to locate it in the centre of where the oil will be if that makes sense, and lleave it 8mm off the bottom of the sump, this will not restrict flow and you want to have ti as close to this as possible, much less chance of the pickup pipe sucking air under hard g forces.
Nice work btw, will hold a lot more oil than normal just need t ocontrol the oil a bit better and it is perfect
Oh and btw brace up the bottom of those engine mounts, they will bend/crack at the bottom, very common failure with chassis mount over jumps
