BROWNY 1968 Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 im in the process of sorting out my leaky 12v v6 in my transit van, currently spewing oil and coolant all over the garage floor, found the coolant leak (rusty pipe fitting at the front of inlet manifold) rocker covers (new gaskets) timing cover (new gaskets) now the sump is horrible, its bent between the bolt holes and is also quite rusty on the inside and out, just wondered if anyone else has tried to fit a 24v cossie alloy sump on there 12v before ? I picked one up today, mounting holes look good, but wont know for sure till ive got a new gasket to lay on it. it does look deeper, got the pick up pipe but don't think it will bolt onto my oil pump, wonder if I can use the 24v oil pump too ? will let you know how it goes more soon cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John escort mk1V6 Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 It fits , the alloy one is thicker and heavier , and also just must close the two holes on the side`s. And you better can take the 4 piece gasket , with glue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BROWNY 1968 Posted September 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 thanks for your replies john, don't think I will need to modify mine to fit like you have, plenty of room under my transit, will make some plates up to cover the oil return holes at the back on the sides cheers browny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BROWNY 1968 Posted September 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 wow, did you get it in with all the fuel injection on it aswell, bet your engine bay is full up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John escort mk1V6 Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 Yes , it was a bit of trouble , it`s a Granada mk3 2,8i EFI but not complete , so i bought the k-jectronic from a mk2. And it`s getting very hot , but i have already a bigger radiator , but it`s not so easy to install becourse i have than also a bit of bodywork to do. But a triple weber kit was a better choose , and more powerfull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BROWNY 1968 Posted October 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 got the sump bolted on today john, mine is a 2.8, looks like I need a smaller starter motor though, mine is too big cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John escort mk1V6 Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 You can take starter from a 2,0 V6 cortina , capri , Granada mk1/2 , but also from a Granada mk3 2,8 V6 these are thinner , than the fatter capri/Granada 2,8. http://www.ebay.nl/itm/FORD-CAPRI-GRANADA-SCORPIO-SIERRA-2-8-2-9-V6-PETROL-NEW-RMFD-STARTER-MOTOR-/272301747375?hash=item3f6672ecaf:g:xRIAAOSwRJ9XgLaJ You can also take the 4x4 bellhouse with that starter [3 bolts mounting] In this case you will need the metal plate or a-just the old one.
