@Tom Vaught; i installed a 1-piece Backwall to side wall boundary to stock pan. No photos avail.

Question; integrated Dry-sump any good? How come there are no active SD-455 Dry-sumps ever posted, or New blocks with dry-sump feature?

The external oil systems don't thrill me, so these Oil Pan discussions dominate.

Very few Dry sump PONTIAC parts out there.
A Pontiac Guy on the west coast had some of the parts 20+ years ago.
Only a very few were were produced and those for Herb Adams and Tom Nell.

Martin Caserio (at one time 1973-74 time frame) basically killed the 455SD programs.
He was an aze-wipe and his kid was a aze-wipe. Knew the kid.

When Bob and Frank were working with our European Road Racer on a oil pan/dry sump
they used custom parts to mount (on the pan) flange (passenger side) a 4 stage dry sump set-up.
Very clean installation.

I have a Herb Adams VSE Cast Aluminum oil pan for the 455 SD engine and the stock oil pump
in the pan which would be the scavenge pump for the hidden dry sump system.
Oil Tank behind the firewall.

The rear of the camshaft drove the Transmission style oil pump parts that received oil from the
hidden oil tank and sent it thru the special engine block to the galleries.
