Another update (fun stuff):
Got dry sump pump back from Aviaid. Had it switched to driver's side mount. They put the wrong thickness of pump body section in it, so it doesn't fit their driver's side pump mounting block. It was a full bolt hole off. Emails were ignored. Couldn't just drill and tap new holes because it would have broken into the existing holes, so I had to buy some aluminum studs, Loctite them in, then drill and tap new holes.
With the pump mounted up, two things then became glaringly obvious: 1. The pump pulley is dangerously close to the water pump inlet. Nothing I can do about that (Aviaid wanted me to cut the inlet off the pump), so I just decided to use an electric water pump. 2. The driver's side pump mount is sorta like a oil filter adapter, but it serves as a mount and an oil inlet with a -10 fitting. The -10 fitting is so close to the dry sump pump body that you can't hook a hose to it.
Tried to move forward with the electric water pump. Jay had adapters in stock, but CVR was out of pumps.
Luckily, I had sent a customer of mine a universal pump body several months ago and he wasn't using it, so I got it from him and will send him a new one when they become available again.
Good times.
I will tell you, Aviaid, IMO, makes one of the best dry sump pumps out there. IMO, it's a step above the Petersen pumps and will instantly pull about 15" of vacuum on the crankcase as soon as you fire the engine up, if it's sealed up good.
However, their mounting systems and oil pan fabrication techniques stink. Oil pan easily bolted up on the driver's side. None of the passenger side bolts would start in the block.
Oh well, onward and upward.
