Great to know! Thanks a lot

The wheel setup looks killer tucked nicely in those fenders!

Dailey 3-stage dry sump. The pump mounts directly to the pan. Pan depth is only about 1 3/4 inches!

It's almost too pretty to hide inside an engine bay. I might just display it on my coffee table instead.

Did you get the dash installed? How did it turn out?

In short...the dash does not fit well.

* The column cutout is too tight.
* The left side fitment where the insert wraps around the edge of the dash is way too tight.
* The left side of the insert is too long. I even tried trimming the bottom edge but still it didn't fit correctly.
* It seemed that no matter how it was installed, the insert would not sit straight in the dash.

I just can't seem to get it to fit.

That sucks about the dash do you think you can build you own? Maybe use this as a rough guide?

Do you have pics? I've bought 2 of these and they fit well enough with a little pushing and pulling.

The left side seems to stick out too far. I can't push it in because the insert hits the dash framework. You can see this interference in the last image.

The right side seems to not fit in the upper right corner. The flange that bends in on the bottom of the insert is clamped all the way across. I don't see how I could close the gap with out a significant bend in that lower flange.

Am I missing something here?

Wegner setup and Dailey pan/pump installed.

When I got the dry-sump pump mounted and attempted to install the motor, the pump ended up wanting to occupy the same space as the motor mount. I knew interference was inevitable...

I've been wanting to push the motor back for a while now. This situation finally gave me the excuse to do it.

The motor got pushed back about 12.5" from the existing motor mounts.



The new motor location is setup to give me just enough room to install/remove the dry-sump pump belt.
