Dry sump BBC - advice please

Hello all,

We currently use wet sump, its a alloy split pan, great for checking bearings etc etc

But

We want to look into a dry sump system, obviously we understand the benifits but just wanted some advice regarding best system, do's and dont's and costs involved.

The block is a Donovan Chevy, Sonny Byrant crank, brooks rods, morgan billet heads, kobelco 14-71 hi helix, any other information needed please ask

Thanks

We run a Dailey pump... Roots and Screw BBC

 

I agree Dailey if you switch , but I have run wet and dry if the dry has any benifits on a BBC blown alc engine we can't find it. they are expensive heavy more things to work around and added no life to anything and had no effect on ET for us. we now run a titan pump and a good pan ,, NO Worries

 

Wet sump for BB Chev

Hi all, we have been running blown BB Chevys for years with a wet sump and no issues. Its only around 1600BHP but I rev it to 8,000. Its running a Hamburger pan with a Moroso billet pump, king bearings. All cheap stuff bit it holds together OK. Cheers

 

We run a blown bbc with a dry sump. The way we have the belt is we have a crank support and the dry sump pulley goes outside the crank support and then we just spaced the pump with the crank support spacers to line up. Works great. the main advantage I can see with a dry sump is the safety aspect if you happen to kick the rods out. Less oil in the pan is less oil to leak out of diaper and get under your tires.
