There are pluses and minuses that is for sure. The dry sump is great for oil control and engine packaging as well as things like temp control, pre-oiling, pan vacuum, etc. But it is also expensive and difficult to package and complex.

I like the belt drive external oil pump since it is easy to change drive ratios and easy to pre-oil the engine. But it is also more expensive than a normal pump and requires more parts for mounting. I think the belt driven pump is a better solution than buying some of the really big and expensive cam driven pumps though. Just depends if you can fit it into your chassis or not.

The other thing is that I don't think a low rpm pump gas engine is all that good of a test bed for this stuff. If I really want to see what is going on I need to build a high rpm screamer and then do some testing. Probably need to build something that has a power peak up around 8000 or 8500 rpm before the power changes start to get bigger. Just not a lot of choices for doing that with a BB Mopar unless I buy a KB block and then get some B1 heads or something like that.

you could build a steel crank high rpm 400. smile that is if we had money to burn smile

So if you have an as cast Indy 400-3 and you are making around 750 hp, sending that intake to Wilson for porting should be worth 25 or 30 hp.


Andy when Wilson ported the Indy intake did they leave the clover leaf or change it to square flange?

Witch magazine is this article in? Thanks for passing your tech to us!

Wilson has always gotten rid of the clover leaf design on any intake they have ported for me. There are some pictures earlier in this thread but here are some more.

All of my tech articles are on the Hot Rod website. Just go to Hot Rod and then search for 470 or 270 Trick Flow or something like that and you'll find them.

andy, are those two small, diagonally opposed holes the original carb base holes in the unmodified intake ?

Wilson drills those holes to index a spacer. Their spacers also have the same hole pattern so you can use dowel pins to locate the spacer very precisely on the intake.
