turn the sump bowl to face the front i think

[X-pack-Glyn]

will an RS2000 sump work?

[old skool freestyler]

not sure to be honest if the bowl is at the front then maybe you might need a slightly bigger gearbox tunnel aswell

If you have the original steering set up on the car then you need a front bowl sump and there wasnt a UK vehicle fitted with a front bowl sump

 

 

The common mod is to cut and shut the original tin sump...

 

Just make sure you can weld otherwise it will leak

yep thats what my step dad did when he did it and hes just made a sump for a essex v6 for his mk2 cortina

i also think the exhaust fouls the bulkhead, not 100% though.

Seen them with pintos in with original steering gear and the exhaust has to be a rubbish shape to miss it...best off putting the front clip from a capri then the engine mounts will be sorted as well your'll need the capri struts as well. Glyn...when Ian pulls out his V8 soon i'm gonna have a look at his setup and copy it
