Title: Red Motor into FC with HR F/End Post by: fcfromscratch on December 15, 2002, 07:49:42 AM Guys,
can you help me with some info on exactly which sump I need to get to put on my 186 which is destined for the FC (which has a HR front end, engine mounts repositioned)... I have 202's, 186's, 173's but none of these fit as the oil well in the sump fouls the HR steering gear behind the crossmember. I have heard that I need one from an EH engine (149, 179??)...is that correct? Does it matter which one? I presume the oil well in these sumps is in the middle and sticks down between the crossmember and the steering linkage. Also, with the different sump I'll need the corresponding oil pick-up I presume...is that correct? thanks in advance for your help here....

Yes it is the sump from an EH that is required and you will need the corresponding pickup to suit.

They are getting hard to find now and I just got this one on an abandoned FC project I just bought.
Price is $60 plus postage. Ken Title: Re: Red Motor into FC with HR F/End Post by: fcfromscratch on December 15, 2002, 11:56:49 PM Guys,
