 Thanks for the info Judson.  I remeber asking Demetry Elgin in his high performance engines class about 10 years ago (in community college) about dry sumping an engine.  We rolled his eyes and told me to get an engineering degree- it's not easy. 

I did manage to find some photos of a 2.2 Lotus racing engine from a Talbot Sunbeam rally car cira 1979.  Looks like they used a belt driven pump in a very logical location- but the photo makes it look so simple. 

Of note on this engine is the wierd intake manifold- looks like a euro manifold chopped in two and rewelded together??  Also the coolant rail (??) running on top of the intake manifold?
