The porsche has a sump pump and tank on it. It is also cooled by the oil so much more is needed. The engine I am building can have as much as 18 quarts of oil in it. Dry sump and tank out of a bush car. Cheap off ebay.

The little engines are hard on oil because of the heat produced. Higher rpm to stay at the same speed as the bigger blocks do.

You can lug your V8 up a hill. I got to hit 4 and some boost to do it.
