Title: Re: Clam shell... Post by: WCB Hitler's Hot Rod on March 20, 2009, 06:35:48 am Hehe! Naa, I'm talking about Pauters new addition to the wet sump on their Big Blocks cases. They added a new high volume "Clam shell" wet sump which bolts directly to their case. Hold's 8 quarts of oil. Shown on their website for a measly amount of $3,000 bucks! :o The ultimate in cases for that 2& 3- liter. IMO. Maybe Don Pauter can chime in on this one. 8)

Title: Re: Clam shell... Post by: drgouk on March 20, 2009, 19:41:17 pm The distance from the crank centreline to the bottom of the sump is roughly the same as what a regular case with a 4 Quart sump would be. The above sump is not fully machined internally.

Title: Re: Clam shell... Post by: Rennsurfer on March 21, 2009, 06:23:03 am Dang! That's beyond cool. I was wondering when someone would start producing monster sized (oil capacity) engine cases for Type 1 cars. Probably a silly question, but has anyone seen/driven an engine with this case?
Title: Re: Clam shell... Post by: Hotrodvw on March 21, 2009, 15:48:44 pm Is there any way to change out the cam by dropping the sump??? Now that would be sweet!

I think its sump and oil pump and your good to go. If you remove the roof you can check the mains and B/e's Title: Re: Clam shell...
