I have an ex w8 nascar truck motor, dry sump, I converted the block and the rear main cap to accept a oil pump. All the valley drain backs etc etc. Not for the faint of heart, quite involved to get one going, I'm a machinist so I was able to do it no problem, going to need some skills...... Can be done but you need to want it, if that comes across clearly. I'm days away from running, forcing air in with a f2 on mine. Good luck on your decision.

My first question would be is it a R3/W8 or R5/P7 based engine? There is also an R6/P8 engine,it is easy to ID as it has a front mount distributor. Seems to be quite a few for sale lately. RT

Where are they for sale and how much? I doubt they are affordable. The whole build looks completely different, not just the distributor. It's a piece of cake to tell the difference between all 3. If the OP would just post pics.....

If the OP would just post pics..... I saw a listing for a block and a bunch of heads,I think a C/L ad.I looked on ebay after I saw it and there were/are a bunch of blocks(around $1500) and heads there,cranks too.I think there are some parts for sale on here to in the race section.I think all the little stuff will add up a bit even with a $1500ish block to start.

Just to keep your mind open.. you could sell off what you have(if the price was right) and get a gen 3 to put in.. easier and cheaper
