oldwheels Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 Hello all, Can anyone help me with a modified steel pinto sump to enable the fitment of a 2.0 pinto into a mk2 Escort, RS2000 alloy sump and pickup pipe is to expensive for my budget, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 personally, I think you need to increase your budget, there's no substitute for the correct part, even if something else has to wait a little longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colr6 Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 That sump would be no good unless you want the engine sticking out the bonnet !! Can't see why you can't use a Capri one, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldwheels Posted April 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Thanks for comments, I was led to believe that both Capri and Sierra sumps will not clear the cross member, as for budget perhaps I am living in the past but £250 for an RS2000 SUMP is a lot of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colr6 Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 They can be manipulated to fit, as not everybody has endless supplies of cash and there ain't that many RSs been scrapped to use alloy sumps all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preacherman Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 You can buy a tin, big wing pinto sump for escort on ebay. £145. I have one on my mk2 escort and fits like a glove no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldwheels Posted April 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Thanks for advice when I come to fit will see if it can be reshaped or it will be the ebay sump, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
