The answer is Yes! I have a dry sump FE. The system is an old system used on some CAN-Am cars many years ago. I am in the process of changing my system because of the leaks from the two piece pan. My block is an aluminum Dove and can assure you that with a dry sump, you will not starve your engine while racing. I cannot believe a Pond block would be any different.

I am currently working with Bill Dailey at daileyengineering.com. Check out this guy's work. I just about have him convinced to build a billet pan with an integrated pump (no pan scavenge lines) for an FE. He builds a lot of pans for racers, but believes the FE is too old and not enough people are still interested in the FE.

I would encourage you to look at his site...the work is incredible. If anyone has an interest in a dry sump...contact Bill and let him know there are a lot of us FE guys who would buy this pan and pump. I need everyone to help convince him to build one for me.
