John,
 
You said "I do think the perfect engine would be the Lotus twincam, dry-sumped of course!"
 
...and I do agree with the twin cam.  At one time my car #5179 had a twin cam installed but the Vulcan modified crossflow was substituted before the car was shipped to the States.  
 
I wanted to put in the dry sump system but have been stumped as to the oil tank size and location for the tank.  Things get real complex to install the tank in the trunk.  Have you set up a wooden chassis Marcos with the dry sump system?

Hi Roger,
 
I do agree that the wooden chassis has great stiffness, but a V6 is still smaller and lighter then a massive honking V8, I do remember seeing a Modsports V6 at Oulton Park many centuries ago, when he accelerated both his doors opened, traced down to the wooden chassis flexing. I do think the perfect engine would be the Lotus twincam, dry-sumped of course!
Are you still racing?
Regards, John.
