He is not sure of the size , so i have to take them to a cam shop to see if they are suitable for the job.

We get fewer drag racing guys calling for dry sump setups (apart from Group 1 racers, mega power cars etc), compared to the guys racing sprint cars, circuit cars etc. So if 1500hp+ 6sec and 7sec cars can use wet setups reliably, i'm pretty sure they will do just fine for 700hp+ VLs Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Sorry for the thread dig I'm kind of stalled with my torana 26/30 at the moment still due to height issues with the 30 block. I DO NOT want to cut the bonnet in any way. The only other bloke i've spoken to thats pulled it off has an external pickup setup thats still hard up for clearance. I already know the advantages of a dry sump setup just wanting to find out from people what kind of clearance they end up with at the bottom.
