Default Dry sump questions

Hey guys
Doing a pretty serious build (can be seen in tools and fab section )
I am putting custom dry sump setup on the engine and am wondering where to put pressurized oil into the motor
Should I tap the block where the original pump would be then running a bulkhead fitting through the timing cover to a line to the pump?
Don't want to use the stock pump at all
Any information is much appreciated
Thanks in advance

You can feed the pressure line to the rear stock oil galley port on the driver side of the block.

Like this.






Also, the oil filter feed and return ports are supposed to be blocked off.

Thanks for the info
Do you plug the stock oil pump port off too?

I think blocking off the oil filter ports keeps oil from being pumped backwards towards the stock oil pump location.

Yes. Not doing so would result in a big internal pressure loss. Btw I also plumbed mine into the lower rear of the block as in the pictures.
