Has Anyone Dry Sumped an FE?

No...... the dry sump helps the issue of evacuating the oil out of the sump ..... and allows the oil to be picked up from a container that will not allow the oil to flow away from the pickup........

The size of the motors is the main issue.....they are just moving a lot of air volumn thru them and it takes an extra amount of breathing...... to equalize the pressure in the block.....

I'm not talking about a motor that just runs around on the street...... when you start getting the rpm's up..... the pistons just move mega amounts of air above and below them....... and this volumn of air is the reason for many of the leaks we see in many of the motors...... there's only one reason oil wants to get out of an engine....and that's pressure....... short of a mechanical failure......

The Aviaid seems to be the best pump for the FE motor ....although many other manufactures make very good dry sump pumps ....Aviaid seems to have the whole system .....and figured it out a long time ago....... plus the way the seals are made and installed in a FE motor ...you don't want a high vacumn in the motor........

The best oil pan is the Stef's....and they are expensive and will take about 6-8 months to get one....

The Weeping issue on the pump has been around for a long time and it's not just Aviaid...... the others will weep the same....... just one of those things that happens ...... we use to just disassemble them and and they are fairly easy to take apart and then wash the sections real good ....then apply a small amount of RTV (clear) around the flat surface of the section and re-assemble......

I we've been running Dry Sump systems for many years and would never go any other way..... just a good way to go and not have to be concern with race tracks or Distributers ....or any of the other associated issues.....
