Well if it's good enough for a plane it should be good enough for a car! Did you do inverted flight and aerobatics??!!

There is a separate oil tank with a pickup tube to supply all of the oil to engine under pressure. It's not a bad system. I have hundreds of flight hours with a Continental O-470 that was dry sump. It made inverted flight and aerobatics a breeze for the engine. On Oct 25, 2012, at 7:00 PM, Dimitri Seretakis wrote: What's a dry sump engine? No oil pan? Is this a bad thing?

I suppose you would need the tranny and driveshaft and diff and axles and steering/suspension just to make it a whole transplant into some kind of rat rod. But that would be cool... You do realize that the 6.9 in the 116 is a dry sump engine because it's too tall to fit in the engine compartment, don't you? And 275hp is not much these days when MB's 3.0 V-6 puts out 306hp and can make 30mpg easily.
