trial fitted my engine just couldnt help myself

[countrybumpkin]

i ran out of mig wire so i needed somthing to do so i desided to see how the alfa engine would look in the escort engine bay and of course to see if any body work needs to be modded to make it fit, which of course it dose i need to remove the original gearbox mounts as the box is to wide and its caught so once there out the engine and box will come up 4 inch more so it will clear the steering rack

 

 

 

it looks so nice sloted in there

What was/is your solution to the sump problem?

 

P.S. If you really want a powerful lightweight alfa engine try one of these for size, dry sumped as standard too

What was/is your solution to the sump problem?

 

with the engine sat in the car it looks like i can use the standard front bowl sump as it looks like it will clear the steering rack as it sits right on the front of the engine and i think it will clear the anti roll bar as its quite a short engine. i hope
