Read the thread that I linked to and then do a search for other dry sump threads on here. Lots of parts are available for the SB. I had to build some parts for my BB but the SB motor is used heavily by circle track racers and most of them run dry sumps. So there are lots of dry sump parts available for SB engines. You just need spend some time looking.

This is a wet sump block, on a dry sump block you won't have the lower line. The factory block has a 3/8 NPT fitting there which might be large enough or you might want to open it up. If you're going to scavange from the valley you'll need a fitting up there also. Last edited by AndyF; 04/15/10 06:26 PM.

I don't know anyone else who makes a spline drive setup for Mopar engines but maybe there is someone out there. 5928475-AR236(Large).jpg (633 downloads)

The dry sump pan cleared the steering linkage okay and the Doug Nash five speed lined up just fine with everything once all the mods were complete to the sheet metal.
