Cobra Make, Engine: Dreaming of a 427 Competition car...

Two reasons why I would like ideally to fit a dry sump system to my as yet merely aspirational Cobra are:

1. It is what the genuine Competition-spec 427 Mk. 3 Cobra used, according to a spec sheet that I have seen

2. It ought to provide the best possible oil control under hard cornering and I plan to race the car

So that's authenticity and engine preservation. And I do intend to build myself a nice engine to go into the car too, so want to protect my investment.

I know that wet sump systems can be made to work well too, though. That is what I am running on my Imp racer at present, although I have a dry sump pan in waiting...
