Just a few pictures and a bit of a update

Engine trial fit.
Need to fit a RWD sump to it
15mm too tall.
A 960 sump will give me more that that so that will be the route to go.

A few pieces of panel bent and fitted to join the new fire wall/bulkhead to the original bulkhead.

Got some 1 1/4” CDS tube.
Bent. 70’ bend on the end to go from chassis rail , up to the suspension top and then on to and thro the bulkhead/ “A” post to stiffen up the front rails.

Happy now with the fit of wing to bonnet.
Tabs welded onto the chassis tube (previous picture) to allow wing to be bolted too.

Shortened 960 sump along with shortened oil pipes? M90 gearbox?

I believe that the best way to get a shortened sump is to cut 2 sumps? I can be more accurately done that way from what I remember reading. I think there is a 5 cyl estate conversion on this forum somewhere?

Yes. Got a sump,oil pipes and water pipes.
Just need a front piece of the prop.

You only need 1 sump, never seen anyone use two or any reason to use 2
