Ron,
All good points and thanks again for the informative info.

I am by far any expert in dry-sumps for sure. I did BRIEFLY look into it for this build. Take a look at what intake I am thinking of putting the supercharger to and I have my work cut out. Have you looked at the price of just the pump???? I roughly figured $1200 to go dry sump (I might be far off), and this is not including the custom pan, or the work that needs to be done to the block. I have absolutely no idea what work needs to be done to the block, for this I would rely on someone like KC or the sorts.

Just working out the supercharger mounting (read custom brackets and front end pullies), is a bit of work for me. Adding in the dry-sump adds more of a twist. Understood, that the pump is mounted low. Still I will keep it in mind. At the moment I would like to keep all on one belt, water pump, alt, charger. Not sure if that is "doable" or recommended, something that I will have to sort out. Sure would give a nice clean appearance.

Do plan on running an Accusump for what it is worth. Have one here, and I feel they are well worth it. More so for the startups.


Ron BTW were are the pics?? I have been starting at all of the supercharged Cobras looking for ideas.

Chris
