Dry Sump

[SRPWR]

If you run a dry sump system on an ls1 in a s14 chassis, do you still have to notch the cross member? And if so is it the same size notch as the GTO pan requires?

lol man your asking a question nobody has the answer to. its gonna depend on the height of the dry sump pan if you have to notch, but you probably still do have to notch a little.

why are you thinking of going dry sump?

I dont know, it was just a thought. I have access to a system at a reasonable price and thought it might be cool to use it.

"cool" and "serve a point" are different

always remember that

I don't think you would have to notch the crossmember. But the oil fittings might hit the steering rack mounting bolt.

Keep in mind how much some of the LS series dry sump packages cost if you order them online. They don't come cheap at all.

Just look for a GTO pan and a mig and have yourself a good ol time.

Contact http://www.drysump.com as they have various pans to choose from. If you get the dimensions of their pans and the GTO pan, you might be able to figure out if you'll need to cut.
