Keep the cool stuff!
When I ran late models I used both wet and dry sumps, the dry sumps were a ton better at both power production and motor longevity (also better at disposing of spare $). You can run better oil cooling and filtering. Just watch the lines and make damn sure you got it all functional and tight before you run it, when something goes wrong it goes REALLY wrong. I like the idea of tying the oil and fuel pumps on a common drive we always ran mechanical pumps, definitely run a light and/or shutoff relay. Even at 9:1 that busch motor is gonna be pretty impressive and bulletproof. Great systems overall plus you get the cool factor! I say definitely keep it!
