Hi is there any you guys out there small black guys that could give me some advice on this external wet sump deal??? R3 9.00 block


I’m going from a first generation r block 48° Tall deck To a R3 9.00

It should be fairly simple.
Dry sump #5 cap or block off the rear main cap , plug filter boss , install a pick up in the pan with a line to the pump for the suction side.
Feed into a remote filter , then into the front China wall oil port and call it good.
I am using an internal pump , but when cleaning up the passages inside the filter boss , I became a victim of core shift and had to plug it entirely.
I had just barely started and it plunged into the water jacket.
I had to plug the passage that leads to the outlet side of the filter internally , but it was easy enough because there were access holes in the back of the block behind an NPT plug , so now I have a water cooled filter boss.
I thought I had destroyed the block , but Ryan Johnson walked me through how to fix it.
I opened up and tapped the oil outlet port from the pump for an 1/2 NPT to -10 fitting and ran a line to a remote filter and into the front of the block on the China wall , and it works well.

The last car I had used this set-up. It was a R3 block, 48 degree, 9.200 deck. Oil pan was an older Moroso wet sump with a kick-out on the passenger side. Pick-up & outlet fitting welded on the driver side. I think it was a -12. Oil pump was a Stock Car Products SCP-100-A. Pump & remote oil filter were mounted on the motor plate. Filter outlet fed the block oil passage inlet at the front wall. Pump was driven by a crank mandrel & Gilmer belt from CV products. I'll post some part numbers if I can find them.

Found some pics. They are not very good but will give you the basic set-up.

Very cool. Thank you guys !!!!! Mopar or no car

I found the part numbers for the CV Products parts that I used but CV Products closed some years ago.
Moroso has some similar crank mandrel & pulleys parts. Basically, it's dry sump drive parts.
