Most people running multi-million dollar outfits generally don't run vehicles with engines that can safely use a wetsump oil system. Even V8 Boringcars which are *supposed* to be based on road going vehicles run their engines lower in the chassis than standard and have next to no ground clearance which prevents them from running a regular wet pan of the capacity they'd like. To these people there is a distinct advantage to running a dry sump system. One you get into the "lower buck" arena things change. You'd be amazed at the number of people who decide to run a particular piece of hardware with no real reason for doing so other than because someone *else* is doing so, and it's seen as the "thing to do". I'm not saying that was the situation in your case (assuming for a moment that any of what you've claimed is true), but it's out there and component manufacturers make their living from it. In your particular case (again assuming that there's a modicum of truth to it), you took a very hard road to solve a relatively simple problem. -- Regards, Noddy.

This last 2 years gone by I've had 4 on the go in various stages. 2 have been finished and 2 are works in progress. In between time I've been busy building a few components for other people, rebuilding my bobcat and finishing the reno's on my house while I organise building my new one (which at this stage looks like I might be taking on as an owner builder project). > I have a few in progress and none have any abundance of off the shelf > parts like your rust bucket. Parts for 43 year old Falcons aren't exactly growing on trees Oz :) You were making some noise a while ago about building a clubman, and there's nothing difficult about obtaining parts for those. As to what your other imaginary projects are I have no idea, but I expect they're worthy of admission into Jay Leno's collection. -- Regards, Noddy.
