dry sump pump does fit
My pump does fit without notching the frame, I spaced the pump forward to clear the motor mount and then I checked it on my frame with the mock up block. Plenty of clearance on the front crossmember and the a arm mounts:

Re: dry sump pump does fit (Twin_Turbo)
Edit: Sorry I read your post too quick and thought it said the pump doesnn't fit. I need to get new glasses.
Marck:
You need to purchase/fabricate a riser block to move the pump up the block. Here is a picture of one for a Moroso pump. It would be different for your SCP/Weaver pump but you get the idea of what it does. They are eay to fabricate. Just a block of steel with 2 holes to mount to the block and 2 new holes to mount the pump, moving it outward and upward to get the clearence you need. Belts come in every 1 1/2 inch lenghts from 22" to 29" so you will be able to find the correct length for the new mounting position.
PS: Don't you think a 5 stage system is just a little overkill? :lolg:

Re: dry sump pump does fit (Twin_Turbo)
Just courious about the sump for the turbos. Any of the motors I have had on the dyno with turbos just had the drainback lines as a gravity feed back to the pan. What is the need for a seperate sump?

I have it like that on my wet sump system but I don't have enough room so I little seperate sump with a breather on top is much easier than hacking up the stefs pan for 2 drains under an angle.

Re: dry sump pump does fit (Twin_Turbo)
Marck running a dry sump is something that I have often thought about, especially when that big red warning light comes on while launching hard.
I already have 3 belts comming off the crank and I don't know if I have room for another.

I have 3 belts on the crank too, my lower pulley is a 3 groove but it's modular, you can add or remove the pulleys (which are basically 2 halves with shims for proper belt width)
Then there's a little drive mandrel way on the front for the dry sump pump.

I have a big toothed hollow pulley out front for the 3 inch drive belt on the blower.
