Maybe so you don't get stuck by a homebuilt hybrid RX7 in your high $$$ Porsche?

Just a joke, but seriously....this is a very cool car. KingKyle deserves some credit for his efforts.

I will be going to a dry sump once I have the cash. For now, the ATS pan with a big accusump will hopefully keep the motor alive this and next season.

Thanks....I'm putting together a similar LS3 build on paper right now. Looking at oiling options............

What's on the Army car for brakes? Takes guts to go from brakes to a car build but it must be satisfying.

I'm running a StopTech big brake kit in the front. Hawk DTC 70 pads and Castrol SRF for fluid. Stock rear brakes seem to be ok. I use a Tilton proportioning valve for fine tuning.

Yeah making my own brake lines (hard lines) proved to be the most difficult part of the build. I was taking it EASY the first time out. I had no idea if the car would stop. Its very satisfying.
