Question Drysump

What brand drysump did you use on your 427 FE? What was the cost and what was included? Ease of install? Where did you mount the tank? Did you lower the engine?

Default Dry sump system

Hi Al Aviaid has everything you need to but a dry sump system on your FE. Everything is a bolt on.#56412 is the kit for the 427. Comes with dampener selve for crank oil pan with 3 pickups and pump bracket. You will need to figure out what pump you want. Price is about 2 grand minus the tank. I am looking at a custom tank that fits in the r/s fender. I removed the battery to the trunk. All the info but price is on www.AVIAID.com. The pump are rebuildable. You might need a mini starter to clear the outlets on the pan. I hear that peterson makes a good pump also. The only problem I see is where you mount the tank. Have seen them in the passenger foot well and in the trunk. I will go with the fender to put air from the r/s front inlet to help cool the oil and get the heat out of the engine compartment. Can you still get the TWM 58mm for the 3,400? Need some work done on the car, will be in the neighborhood in a couple of weeks. Rick L.

Al

You might want to go to Gasholes and look up KMP 259 .... I posted quite a few photo's of our Dry Sump system and how we had to mount everything..

The Plumbing is more involved then you would think ...just not much space...
