Does the 350 R motor have a dry sump? If not why? One of the reasons I am leaning away from the Vettes is that even WITH some of the motors (LS7) having a dry sump it's not actually that they put in the best design that was available.
The other thing (I was making a couple of offers on c6z's) is the known problem with the heads & valves. A vendor in Canada screwed up about 50% of the heads in the early ls7 motors (2006 & up) "Maybe" it was fixed by 2010 - 2013. GM is VERY closed mouth about the whole mess.
The dry sump & the valve issue are sort of different questions, but a reliable motor is very high on my list of needs. Do these flat plane crank motors last?
There is a track I run that includes nascar banking for part of the course (Fontana, CA roval configuration) so long sweepers @ 150 are to be planned for (occasionally).
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
