The xflow is from a ford Capri MK1 and so has the rear bowl sump, This is currently getting rather too intimate with many speed bumps (especially those
square ones - now have to drive in middle of the road).So to give more ground clearance, I either need to dry sump although this will cost over £1000 or there is a company called Vulcan engines that do a shallow sump for kit cars but it is still expensive and not that much shallower... the sump £159 + vat + exchange http://www.vulcanengines.com/brocure_2005/page_3.htm and
So does some one know some where on the net / near Sheffield that can do this for a little less.
or should i have a go at modifying the sump to make it flatter...
Has anyone done this?
I was thinking of fabricating a winged sump to try and maintain / increase oil volume, then what about baffles, windage trays and pick-up pipe modification??? I have access to a MIG welder.
Any help / advice greatly appreciated.
Oh and anyone who has done the xflow conversion, which speedo cable did you use, I currently have the minor one which is rather stretched and so the speedo flicks about alot....
