Sure its been done. Peterson makes a nice dry sump for the 351C. Biggest problem after the high price is periodically knocking the belt off or breaking it, and frying your engine before you notice it. Running race stuff on the street takes frequent inspections, something most street racers don't/won't do. I suggest a giant red light on the dash wired into the oil system to warn of pressure drops, or maybe a solenoid in the accelerator linkage that disconnects with low pressure. Cheers- J Deryke.
