LT1 conversion from dry sump to wet sump
Hello, totally new to this forum so let me say thank you for information I have read so far. It's been great reading.
I have a 1970 Corvette that I want to put an LT1 in and use the existing Muncie 4 speed. This is a street car not a race car. So far the only used LT1's I have found are dry sump engines. So what's involved in converting to a wet sump system? Or should I go with a dry sump LT1 and build a tank to fit in the car? Thanks for anyone's input.
