DRY SUMP
I was just wondering if there is any way to convert a Pontiac motor for dry sump oiling.

You don't have an SD by chance? Those are setup for it, but finding the parts now would probably be a task. Not sure if anyone makes a conversion for the non SD blocks.

I have a 455 but it's not a Super Duty block unfortunately

Try looking at some dry sump setups for race cars, roundy-round cars use them a lot.
(try the local circle track) The 'problem' would be deciding where to mount the pump and tank. Probably on the passenger side if you have alternator and PS already. Then you would need a dry sump pan or at least at some bungs in yours to evacuate the pan. Probably not all that hard just takes up some room in the front end area. (and another pulley to run sump pump)
