gks1964 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Trying to find out when Nascars top division first began using the dry sump oil system? I've not been able to find any information about this! I figured this is the best place to ask the knowledgeable people here.

john843 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I'm sure I remember reading in a recent discussion on this that Ford started using them on the Boss 429's when they became eligible to run in '69 and the ChryCo teams drifted to them pretty much immediately. Petty's flipping RR at Darlington in Apr. '70 had a DS system. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerald The ford oil tank was usually behind the drivers seat. The polar light Torino has a dry sump pan for the 429 engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john843 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Seems like the Ford pan was a 2 pc. unit with the rear 2/3rds constructed of magnesium and the front made of aluminum. Only shot of one I saw didn't show the important part- the bottom:( https://www.talladegaspoilerregistry.com/2014/04/07/what-are-you-working-on-rick-and-kjell-team-up/ John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowsportwagon Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Those are the best so far. Those flat Holman Moody headers would be awesome to have in scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkJ Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 They did use oil cooler radiators before then though. At least the 63 Ray Fox Chevy did. Front left corner underhood is oil cooler radiator and remote oil filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
