It is my understanding that the dry-sump was also on some 427CO used in boats. So check out them old Chris Crafts.

I picked up one at a spring Carlisle several years back for $350.00. The guy didn't know (or maybe didn't care) what he had.

There was also a "CanAm" style of dry sump which has a "V" shaped pan with external drive. My understanding is that is the type being offered (sorta) by Dove.

I do note that the MkII at the Indy Museum has a wet sump on it. It appears that the wet sump is only marginally deeper than the dry sump, however, on the MkII there were bosses on the rear of the sump for bolts that fasten through bushings in the frame to the gearbox. Right Bob?

So, those dry-sumps are out there...

Now if I can just get Bob motivated on the gear box project...
