Why?
Have you costed a drysump kit?
other than gaining a little extra ground clearance, I can't think of a good reason to use a dry sump on a Pinto.
Unless you are building a track only car.

Even if it is for the track, a modified cut-down sump will do the job just fine.
Dry sumping is expensive, really expensive and probably not worth it.

I agree with the other comments - save your money as its not worth doing with a pinto!

I'll 4th the above, unless you are going sprinting with super-wide, super-sticky slicks. Waste of £1000 or so

The cash would be better spent on a set of compomotive CXR's and some Toyo R888's, and probably a bit of cash left in your pocket too.
