-12 heads are low RPM stump pullers. They top out at about 750 HP, and are a pretty economical way to go for a sprinter. I would buy a used -12 aluminum dry sump engine before building a new steel engine, of courae that ia a gamble too.

I'm not familiar with -12, but if what you say is true, then great. I'm curious though, whats low RPM to you?

I gear that engine to spin 8200. My other engines I gear for 8800 to 9000 rpm. The -12 is much more drivable than the others. The -12 also went 25 races between rebuilds.

If the rules let you run a dry sump DO IT It is cheap insurance against engine failure.
I can guarantee you that if dry sumps were legal with UMP or USMTS modifieds they all would have them. |

8200 may be too much for wet sump depending on how long you stay at the higher RPM, but its lower than I expected. With some nice 23's he could safely pull off wet sump. You could probably get away with a higher peak RPM if you don't linger there. Some may disagree with that.

^disagree wet dump engines turn well over 8200 on a regular basis every week, have two of them that can and do. As kcar92 stated mods run 8200 and higher all the time(more like 8500-9100). Can't run cheap parts and turn that hard all the time

I think the oil pan's shape and baffles are the concern for correct and good scavenging. Is why it was referenced.
