Very cool. Is that dry sump tank on DRIVERS side in the trunk?

thats some great fabrication work there Chris. Is the oval opening in the dash made with a custom press die or bead rolling magic?

Ya the dry sump is new to me. I talked with the Ferrari guys next door and they said it should work just fine as long as the outlets are a straight shot so we set it up to pull pretty straight.

Nascar puts them behind the driver-

I'm doing my first dry sump too. Lots of learning.

NASCAR is behind driver because they only turn left. Road race cars or anything other than oval track will place it on passenger side for weight bias (oil tank rear right and driver front left). The filled oil tank is pretty heavy and an opportunity to place weight where you want it. If it matters.

If this isn't headed to a track ever then I'd say no biggie. But if it is then a move to the passenger side is a viable option.

I put the battery on that side. I think the weight of a case of oil and battery are pretty close....but just in case we moved the seats 7/32 to pass side. lightened all the trim by .005 grams of weight compared to the pass side. Located the air box to the pass side:poke:

who I'm I kidding...it will NEVER see any track time!!:(

I need to build a track car!!

Chris, good luck w/the crunch. Always liked that year of Nova. I'll stop by at Sema and check it out.
