Guest jwee Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Im putting a 2L pinto in to my mk2 escort and whats the best way around the sump not fitting? and do the engine mounts of the crossflow block work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 you need pinto mounts and you need to have your sump cut and rewelded to suit, there are many threads relating to this subject Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esky boi Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Will bolt straight up to the xflow mounts.. but yea, the round pinto mounts are more ideal, theyre meant to be stronger I think. Yea the sump needs to be cut and welded. Its not a straight bolt up job aye.. theres a little bit of modding that needs to be done...

Gaz Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 just hack the sump. Thats all i did. as long as its water tight. But if you are getting one done i migh be intersted in another if it makes it cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kris Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I saw a useful idea on this - use petrol tank sealer to seal the sump after a cut and shut... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
