mfg Posted July 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 The Granatelli 'NOVI' racing engines of the period had dry sump systems......Did the R5?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1lark Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 I'll say TRUE. According to Andy G., the R5 had a 2 quart dry sump oiling system with a cooler for each supercharger. Does this count, especially since you did not designate whether you were referring to the engine lube system or the supercharger lube system?

Good point on the blower cooling!....but I really was referring to the engine itself....do you still want to go with TRUE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
