Searching for 1:25th dry sump system parts and accessories, curious what might be best.

Greetings,

I'm trying to work up assemblies for what will be a '71 Penske as well as a '72-season Roy Woods Racing Javelin Trans Am racer very slowly building - a pair then. Not being versed concerning what's been accurately tooled across the range of contemporary road racing as well as NASCAR kits, to say little of what might availed across the cottage/aftermarket scene, I was hoping someone looking on could make suggestions if knowledge exists.  

Basically the setup is a Weavers Bros. dry sump system with the expected stacked scavenge and pressure pumps, the toothed belt Gilmer drives up front, combined with a modified stamped steel pan adapted to suit.  The oil tank is sited essentially inside the firewall, while it's assumed that most of what is seen I'll have to make up from scratch.

...test fit into the unrestored chassis, seen from below again.  This is also a M. Eisenberg image.

...predating the Penske Matador effort, seen is a stock stamped steel oil pan modified for employment with the dry sump oiling system.  M. Eisenberg photo.

...while these would be my '70 to '72-season Trans Am Javelins awaiting their fates.  The '70 spied further back will make use of a wet sump design, likely an early-season Aviaid model.

Just wrapping up then, if some really excellent toothed belt and drive system parts existed in another tool consistent with making both better and shorter work of things, I'd be most appreciative of whatever guidance might be availed.  Yes - I do have the AMT Penske Matador kit which has it's points but isn't earth shattering in this regard.  Thanks...

I think I recall the 1990's AMT NASCAR kits had a dry sump oiling on the kits engines. The system was pretty basic but with some detailing you could make it look pretty good.

The older P/S kits also had dry sumps.

You can't see much in these photos but the Polar Lights and Revellogram NASCAR kits have pretty nice setups.

Thanks everyone for the guidance and photos.  I'll likely search for some parted out scraps along the lines suggested and proceed from there.  Thanks again...
