No need to contact Greg Cone. The answer is in the following link. https://aoai.org/forums/topic/4876-dry-r5/

This is from the SDC Forum on 1-2010. Richard Bennett posted this as part of a reply about the R5. The R5 engine on the Due Cento was a basic R3 engine with a Bendix Fuel Injection unit that sprayed the fuel into/through the dual superchargers and then into a custom built sheet metal intake manifold which fed into the intake ports of the heads. It ran a Gilmore pulley and belt system to eliminate belt slippage, a special grind camshaft (several different grinders made camshafts for it but nobody remembers which one was used), and a Shiefer magneto ignition. It did not run a dry sump system. The blowers ran the blower fluid through a reserviour and cooler in order to cool the fluid which was needed as they were producing about 20 lbs. of boost.

This is from an article by Richard Bennett. Bill Dredge was present at the Granatelli shop when the testing was done on the dyno and said that the engine, in his words, produced a whopping 638 HP. Quite an accomplishment for 1963! Driven by Joe and Andy Granatelli, the Due Cento reached speeds well over 200 mph according to the tach, but was not getting traction due to the wet salt and the best official run was 196.58 mph.

In this photo it appears the R5 has no dry sump.

Ed. Note: (quote Andy Granatelli - Nov 1970) The engine compression was 8:75 ::1. The superchargers were modified with an outside vent between the labyrinth rings. Then, a 2 quart dry sump oiling system with a cooler was fabricated for each supercharger, The coolers were mounted in the area where the parking lights normally went.

The R5 used a dry sump only on the superchargers. Each supercharger had a two quart dry sump and an oil cooler. The Burke Avanti used a dry sump.

Yes.

False. The production order for my Avanti has a hand written notation that it was tested on rollers.

Alice Cooper no longer owns that Avanti.

That all you have is insults.

When all else fails do what you do best and start the insults.

According to Dan Booth in the Avanti Magazine Issue 207, page 32 its 1969 Avanti RQA-0637. Does that quote work for you?

Dan Booth provided the correct information. He didn't ask the question, you did. The best part is that you don't even understand your own question. Now you are left grasping at straws.

From the article Dan Booth states, "the antenna measures 16.5 inches above the rear quarter panel." That is the retracted length and not the fully extended length in the question. I have a factory installed antenna and it is 16.5 inches retracted and total length of the mast fully extended is 50.5 inches. My original answer to the question remains the same, none of the above.
