[DeTomaso] oil scavenge pump

At first blush, the idea doesn't appeal to me as the cooler would be 
competing with the engine at high RPM for a limited supply of oil in the 
pan. Turns your 9 quart into a 7 quart.

I was planning on using it for engine cooling taking the oil and returning 
it to the pan independently of the engine oiling system.

Transmission or engine cooler?

On my transmission setup I use a Tilton PD pump

If intended for engine oil cooling where are you locating the pump 
inlet/outlet, a loop in the oil pan? PD pumps cannot be run in series 
without a pressure break, so a conventional routing off the oil filter in 
conjunction with the oem oil pump would not work. Why do you feel you need a 
separate pump? If it is warranted then maybe wise to move toward a wet sump 
external oil pump system. IMO Peterson are one of the best when it comes to 
oiling systems and they have an R4 external wet sump oil pump for a SBF or a 
vacuum pump if you want to pull a crankcase vacuum. This is not going to be 
a cheap exercise though, the pumps run $550 alone.
