Dry Sump Street Fox

[blue302stang]

I have always been wondering what it would take to swap a normal wet sump oiling system on a fox body over to a dry sump oiling system. What would be the advantage, and would it still be something that you could drive on a daily basis?

It's still completely streetable, but it's flippin' expensive. Might gain 1 or 2 hp, and oil temps shouuuuld be a tad lower. Since you wouldn't have to run much of an oil pan, you get more clearance there, too.

The new 500hp Vette has dry sump oiling.

Best thing I could think about it,is adding a vacuum pump with it and pulling alot of crankcase vacuum along with the good oil cotrol and low restriction filter.It would really move some oil,helping your bearings.

For street applications - totally not worth it. Plus try finding another spot for the external tank (and no it will not be 5 quarts capacity, but much larger).

I agree. Any benefits from a dry sump setup will not offset the cost on a street car.
