Help with dry sump oil system.

[Cheryl I]

I have a 67 camaro with a Detroit speed front sub frame and a 2010 LS 3 motor. I put the shallowest oil pan on and it still hangs down to far. I want to us a dry sump system. Has anyone ever put one of the systems on and if so, which one. I'm looking for some good feed back before I buy one. I was reading about the brand Aviaids. Does anyone have any feed back.
thanks to all for your help.

What pan do you have exactly? Haven't heard of anyone having that problem.

Aviaid makes great stuff.. Also Dailey I believe is the name of another, but it's around $4500.

What Dale said. Call John at Aviaids. He's got some nice LS solutions that use the factory pump for the pressure side and a modified LS2 pan.

If you haven't seen the new Holley swap pans you should have a look. Look at pn 302-2 and 302-1.

If nothing off the shelf will work for you, making it all yourself is actually not too hard. I made my own oil pan and pump bracket, built the whole setup myself. Still wasn't cheap, probably two grand into it. Good thing tho is that the pan and lines only hang about two or three inches below the bottom of the block so my engine is pretty low in the car but still good ground clearance

I've had a both a stock LS7 pan and dry sump and currently have a Dailey 5 stage in mine. The LS7 pan fits with no mods, the Dailey required significant surgery to the crossmember.
I think we need a little more info on what dry sump your working with.

I run a Dailey pump with Peterson accessories. Dailey does a lot of the Nascar/Tudor cars. His pumps are no more expensive than others, but being an engineer he will set you up with EXACTLY what you need and he makes you feel like his only customer when he designs your system! Engine rpm plays a huge role in what pump is spec'd as well as accessories. I'm a nobody, but I called and went over the engine, and he spent at least 30 minutes on the phone with me. A few emails later he had everything spec'd. He only charged for the pump and will recommend and cost the Peterson accessories to you. Can't beat that. Their are quite a few good pan makers, my engine builder just preferred Stef's, so that's what mine wears.

Agree completely, I have a Dailey pump and Stefs pan and tank too, great system, I lost a roller lifter axle and it trashed the pump. They rebuilt my pump in less than a week and were really good to work with. I would not use anything else.
