yes dry sumps have been around on the sbc for years...but as someone who has had a converted car for years..alot ot these ideas are just things in the way. my oil cooler is mounted in the passengenger backseat area suitably enclosed and vented to the underside of the car and is fed cooling air through two three inch naca ducts in the quarter panel popout window. my radiator is in the front. rubber hoses and a mezziere remote electric water pump are easy to install as well as the front mounted radiator. helps a bit with weight distribution, especially when running an all aluminum engine. i still think that a 930 gearbox is the way to go especially if you want 500 horsepower and then be able to use it...otherwise you end up with power but a bit timid about turning it on! my 71 rs lookalike has an all aluminum 434 sbc with mass flo efi and dynoed at almost 600 chp. the renegade hybrids radiator set up does work well. cannot imagine opening the engine compartment and sticking my head in underneath a 210 to 240 degree radiator!
