The dry sump placement in the cowl. Check out the headers they are from Ultimate Headers they are shorty and fit great.


Awesome work, any idea yet on how you are going to fill the oil tank yet?

We are going to make a remote fill point through the firewall with a dip stick. We upped the dry sump tank volume to 12 quarts just to be safe.

We also moved the ABS rearward to clean up packaging and move mass back.



I also used the Too Much Fabrication weld in mounting bosses to mount it (see top mounting boss). They work great. I have a bag of these weld on bosses and plan to use a lot on this build.

I would imagine having such a gnarly blower on there that the engine would be mostly insensitive to primary length, as you're going to have torque all over the place. The physical gas gas flow shouldn't be affected by mid shorty vs. long tube headers, and the ground clearance is a huge bonus.

Great build Mark!
