couple of questins about engine height and sump
Right i have just spent the morning playing with my engine trying to get it in the correct position. there is really no room to move it!
first question is, what is the maximum hight the the engine can be above the top rails in order to allow for the bonnet? it currently sits about 15 inches above the top rail. this is without the sump being modified.
my next question is, my sump is 5.5 inches deep, if i have to modify it for the bonnet will i have make the sump wider to increase its volume to match the existing volume? im planning on fitting a oil cooler/ oil catch tank will it be ok to have these or will i still need to increase the sumps volume?
oh yeah, my engine is 3.5 ltr rover v8.
i will probably be using the saturn grp body if it helps.
thanks.
