I'll buy one if it comes with a carburated 350!!!

I'm hardcore, but not that hardcore...

Good luck, looking forward to pictures of at least your cars...

 

Dude, give me a call (phone # on the GFL site) so I can take care of that piece for you.

J.P.

 

$1500 range??

Dude! Take a look around and price out the 3 main components, pump, pan and tank. Hell, the pump is around $700 and the pan is around $400. Add to that the tank, belt drive hw, oil filter hw, AN fittings and hose. Oh and dont forget the mounting bracket and the oem oil pump block off plate. I know i'm forgetting a few items.

 

... like the custom engine mounts ...

EDIT: come to think of it, couldn't you sell the engine mounts as an "option"?

 

seeing how a new motor is a bit under 5k new or 2.5k used its a drop in the bucket.

The engine mounts won't do you any good w/o the oil pan.

 

I've been toying around in my head an idea for a hybrid wetsump/drysump setup that should be quite a bit less then what we are doing now.

Basicly add an external single stage pump and drysump tank and keep the oem pump as a scavenge pump.

 

Why do you need to lower the motor?
Can the sump stuff work without lowering the motor?

Probably to solve the clearance issues for some componentry.

 

I'd look into the prop shaft angles being to great if you lower the engine too much, as well as exhaust clearance. Just some food for thought.

A dry sump is too hardcore for me, but I sure would like to see one.

 

Lowering the motor helps to lower the CG of the car. Its something like for every inch you lower 100lbs you increase your lateral G limit by 0.1g I probably have the values wrong but you get the idea. Its one of the primary benifits of going to a dry sump system.
