      Gen 1 SBC oiling problem.

      I apparently have a problem with my current SBC engine oiling system. Generally on track I'm watching the track not the gauges in the corners and do a quick scan of gauges on the straights. The problem is my oil pressure drops to near zero only in a right hand turn. I never noticed this situation until I was taking a passenger for a track ride this past weekend and she mentioned it. I subsequently took a few additional laps with my attention specifically on the gauges and sure enough every right turn the oil pressure drops off. So I clearly have a problem that needs to be corrected ASAP. My first thought is to replace the no-name oil pan with a Canton Racing road race pan but then I got to thinking this might be an opportunity to convert to a dry sump system. Problem is I know nothing about dry sump systems and I have never seen a gen 1 SBC specific dry sump. I have no idea who sells a quality dry sump system. Any recommendations on dry sump systems would be appreciated.
