Redtop 14 2 Cars Posted November 8, 2008 Does anyone know if a dry sump kit was ever made for the engine block, or similar i.e same spacings for bolt holes etc. Looking about getting one, maybe some rally guys are using a dry sump setup or kit cars with the engine? Any information is appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any information is appreciated. Pace products supply a kit, originally used on the 405 touring cars. Edited November 8, 2008 by maxirallye Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Batfink 201 Posted November 9, 2008 you only get the dry sump and pump from Pace in the kit. You will need all the hose and an oil tank also. This can double the price! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
philfingers 5 Posted November 9, 2008 Reckon on about £1500 for a new kit and all the bit's you'll need. Not cheap! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By time you have got all the bits pump, sump, easy clean tank, catch tank, catch tank for engine, one way valve, 16row oil cooler. Then if you go for a remote oil filter and go for goodrige hoses rather than rubber id budget between £1700 - £1900. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
