A dry sump does a great job of oiling on a dirt burner, but is probably overkill on a street machine. I have built some of the wider pans for my stuff, for sure the Ranchero is gonna need one. I will also be using a remote dual filter and oil cooler, they do an excellent job lowering oil temp on cruise nights. After the initial run in and a break in, I put all my motors on synthetic oil, current choice being Valvoline.
Ya Bob, That tranny thing is another point to consider. Better not get the cart before the horse. Or the engine before the chassis.Got a Jerry Bickle chassis guide here. I know with toooo much info I may become dangerous. But he shows pro stocks with the engine lower than the rear and drive train angles up to the rear end. I'm sure when I do the dry run with the parts it'll all become clear to me
