The LS7 and 9 are a hybrid drysump system. Still use an internal oil pump and an external oil tank. 

I have a dailey billet dry sump on my LS7. It's the tits because it scavenges 4 stages internally. I also use a Peterson remote filter with primer to get oil to the main bearings and top end if it has been sitting for a while. No need to take the belt off to prime with this little beauty.

Anything is possible, but knowing what that Daily system cost and the fact that your wanting a one off item I would expect the price tag to be over $7,000 for an AMC.

I've messaged Aviad, they said after the first initial prime of installing the system.. That subsequent priming wouldn't really be an issue, and even if some oil leaks back down to the pan  That idling for a bit will fill top it back off.

Over the next couple days, I'll record a video of the process I go through to prime my pump.  I haven't used anything like this, but the link below is a pretty neat way to easily prime a dry sump system.


By the way, my engine builder would not agree with Aviaid's comment about only priming on initial start-up.  I prefer to be better safe than sorry.  Bearings are expensive, especially with 13:1 compression trying to beat them out when the engine is dry.

Have a look in my photo next to the dry sump tank. I have the same remote filter/primer pump. 

It's the easiest way to quickly prime the motor. I carry a small cordless drill in my glove box to prime.

I too would have to disagree with Aviad on that statement as well. Like I said previously it literally only take a second to pull the belt off and just a few seconds with the drill and you'll have pressure on the gauge. It is so simple and easy to do and then you know with 100% certainty that you have pressure. Pro cars completely drain the oil out of there engines after every race and refill with new oil. I tried finding you a video, but apparently it's not something that anyone has bothered to record yet.

I just recorded a quick video of the process to prime a dry sump system.  Hopefully the link to my Photobucket account will work.

Air cooled Porsche 911 has had dry sump since the ‘60s. On street cars. They stay primed, have thermostatic controlled cooler circuits... yes they have tricky oil fill routines, and can accumulate a bit of oil in the crankcase while stored or even shut down a few days, hence the puff of smoke on start up. But they work well. Think lightweight check valves where needed.
