Hmm, should or should I not do the the sump for the FF1600 my self or just buy a ready made piece of the shelf for just a few £... :doh:

What an effort!
Guess curbing aint an option after all houres going in to this. ;) :beer:

I think a crossflow sump would be a doddle compared to this beast, I played about with reducing the depth and baffling plus putting wings on a steel one a few years ago, should have gone dry sump would have been easier, about to look at a 4AEG toymota sump now for the same westfield.

Very interesting Peter.

And YES, way simpler then for the BMW V8, I know. :)
But still work that has to be weighted against the time/cost table where I'm always way to optimistic about how easy it is to carve something out of metal in no time. :doh:
But still, really tempting to have a go sometime in the future. No hurry, its a long way untill an engine is needed for my vintage FF1600 project. :whip:

Dont whant to OT this thread anymore, but if you like to share any info and/or photos of your sump mod it would be very appreciated. :thumbup:

And please tell us about the new engine/car as well.

when it comes out ill try and get some pictures , it is just based on the old rally sumps for Mk1/2 escorts then the bottom carved off to reduce the height it was a bit of a cobble as we need ground clearance but as it was going to be tossed about auto testing it needed to have the capacity.
sorry for going off toppic :offtopic:

Wow, what a job :thumbup: :clap:

Not sure if you should bolt it to the car or put in a strong glass cabinet on display. :clap: :clap: :clap:
