I mounted some stickier-than-usual tires and am racing at the new Chuckwalla Raceway between Blythe, CA and the Nevada border. 17 turns, 2.7 miles. The same motor that - on Dunlop 204s - at Sears Point and Laguna Seca is fine, on these stickier Hoosiers is filling the valve covers with oil and today actually blew the rubber filler plug out. I have a Canton trapdoor pan, crank scraper, baffle, Accusump, external filter, oil cooler, restricted lifters and pushrods, etc. Pump pickup is 3/8" off the floor. 20-50 Kendall Titanium. 50-60#s at 4000 RPM @ 220* oil, 220* water.

I know there's a thread somewhere about draining the heads into the pan. Can someone point me at it?

Was there ever a '59-'62 drysump setup I can copy? Have to stay period-correct. Thanks.
