New Engine Build Lots of Questions

Post by Smokenjoke »

Hello all,

First time poster long time lurker. To start I am planning to build a 1776 motor for my 67 Beetle. The concept is to build a Resto-mod type GT car. I will autocross it and drive it daily minus really bad winter days and really hot summer days here in Ohio. Reliability is key so as I am in the planning stages over build it is name of my game.
The motor;
I want to pick up the 1776 CB performance engine builder kit with the Maxi 30 full flow oil pump, and rotational parts balanced, nothing crazy.

I plan on using EFI and an AMR500 for induction and ignition from the Dub shop

I have already have a JB200 Cam from JoeBlow

I have not picked an exhaust yet so I am open to thoughts.

This should put me in the 110 to 130 hp at the wheels, which is more than enough for me.

To deal with the high IAT I want to use a Water to Air intercooler, and not water/methanol injection.

My question at this time is about Dry Sumps. I have spent a lot of time reading through the forum and have found some great information but haven't found what I am looking for. Can you use a full flow pump, like the Maxi 30,as the scavenge pump from the stock sum and pick up to a filter and cooler then into the tank, then use an electric oil pump from the tank to the full flow galley for the pressure side completing the loop?
Would a deep sum a or a sump with baffles be more practical for autocross, I am not a serious competitor but do enjoy it.

Thank you for any information
