Bill J.  Could  you post a little more info about the dry sump?  How much of  the oil pan can be eliminated?    BTW,  the reason  you have seen nothing from me about the  P port manifold for the past couple of weeks is that I have been tempted to eliminate the water pump and go with the EWP.  If I do this and relocate the alt.  some valuable real estate for the intake would come available.     Jerry
