Default Anyone ever install a dry-sump in a C4?

I posted this over in the roadrace section as well...

Building a 427 SBC motor for my '91, and the engine guy (and I) would LOVE to dry-sump the motor for reliability, but are wondering what can fit in the tight confines of the frame on the C4.

Anyone else do one? What modifications needed to be done to get it to fit?

What stage pumps did you use (3 or 4-stage)?

I'm setiing up a 5 stage on my lt1 (turbocharged) The only way it will fit for me is up high on the Driver head with a custom mandrel. for your car I would use a 4 stage ( or a large section 3 stage) spring car pump with the cam drive timing cover. It will require a electric remote water pump to work, but it's well worth it IMO.
