HIQ Dry sump is the way to go if you are Racing alot. Dennis Gage did that show with the guy that owns the Shelby GT500 that made all the speed records, He also owns one of the only SC 427 with a dry sump from Shelby. The tank fits in the r/s fender, the rest is hoses. The pump is on the lower R/S of the motor. As long as you put filters in the correct places you will have no problems with these pumps. I think they are rebuildable. Avivad sells the complete setup minus hoses for an FE motor. I am going with one as soon as the checks come in. Add an Accump to the system for per oiling of the motor. I don't know all the in's and out's of the preheat for the oil but if it's in the R/S fender I am sure that 5 minutes of motor running will warm it just fine. You can set the oil pressure too. Good filters are the key to a long dry sump life. Get the info from Avivad and read the whole thing. If you are worried about a belt thing,buy a spare and put a big red light on the dash for low oil pressure to turn off the car and save the motor. Good luck Rick Lake
