Someone recently designed a swinging pickup for the V-10 Viper engine, but I've not heard if it worked better than those designed decades ago for early hemi engines and 440's, which had a reputation of sticking in the wrong position. These were sought after for drag racing, and would swing front to back, for accel/decel oil control. Perhaps other types were tried in road race style engine applications? Not sure about that...

Exactly, The ones I've seen are for Mopars, I have heard of some that were made for road racing apps but have never seen any.
