Haven't been here for awhile. Yet another new project in the works now.

I picked up a 500" KB Mopar aluminum block with original B1 heads. I'll have to rework some things from the previous use as a roundy-round motor. Originally was set up as with a dry sump oiling system and still has the oil pan. No pump, mount, drive system etc.

Converting this to a drag racing setup for a 70 Duster. Looks like I could go external wet or dry sump. I get the advantages of less oil in the motor with a dry sump, but is the benefit worth the potential $4k investment? Being an aftermarket block, I don't see any provisions for internal oiling which is fine. Shooting for 10.0 up here on the hill.
