M20 - dry-sumped, ITB's .... in a Commodore?!

With all the modding geniuses why hasn't someone converted the belt to a chain or something stronger than rubber cause that sounds cheaper than a full motor swap. Or am i speaking from la-la land and what im saying is way too difficult?

Well, belts are smoother than chains. If you expect to do lots of maintenance/other work, a belt is no deterrent.

*Off topic question*

All that work....all that work for an engine with a timing belt.....and there's obviously room for something better.

so how do we makes with the dry-sump? I was always like all the VW guys converted to dry sumpp and even have modified oil pans. Why cant we?

Of course the builder is from Finland... where else do the craziest build come from?

You got me. I was expecting a Holden.

I'm curious about oiling with the engine at that angle.

Just read that and came to up it. I got beat. It's pretty insane, but they guys from that part of the world are known for being a bit nutty.

Just saw this on SpeedHunters... thought it looked like an M20 and sure enough!
