I was told by Dennis Quella that in this tube frame race car, he wishes that he had planned ahead and executed a lowered mounting of the engine and ZF. I am aware of one dry sump engine done by Quella for a Texas Pantera owner that was not lowered. </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Baskerville Old Face","serif";color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Baskerville Old Face","serif";color:#1F497D;"> A dry sump and lowering the drivetrain would certainly be getting very serious with expense, center of gravity and handling.</span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Baskerville Old Face","serif";color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Baskerville Old Face","serif";color:#1F497D;"> I suspect that no one has gone that far, but I hope I am wrong.</span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Baskerville Old Face","serif";color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Baskerville Old Face","serif";color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Baskerville Old Face","serif";color:#1F497D;"> Warmest regards, Chuck Engles</span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in;"><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";"> DeTomaso [mailto:detomaso-bounces@poca.com] <b>On Behalf Of </b>michael@michaelshortt.com<br><b>Sent:</b> Saturday, January 18, 2014 11:53 AM<br><b>To:</b> detomaso@poca.com<br><b>Subject:</b> [DeTomaso] Dry Sump</span></p></div><p class="ecxMsoNormal"> </p>Has anyone installed a dry sump oul system AND lowered the engine?<BR>Michael Shortt<BR></div><br>_______________________________________________
