Darren, I know you want a front bowl sump, So does anyone have a front bowl sump for a 3,5/3,9 engine??,

and just a bit to embarrass Darren as he is too modest for his own good, I have known Darren for a while now, and beleive it or nor he is not a numpty

, If anyone has a copy of this months Classic Ford, Have a look at the Featured Snot Green

Mk3 Cortina, One very cool ride,

Must be time to post some pics Darren

Ian

Would you not be better going the tried and tested Ford small block?.
My mate just swapped a Rover V8 out of a mk 2 Zodiac, and replaced it with a very hot small block chevy - there was believe it or not more room - and it only took him a few hours to fab mounts. I could ask if he still has the Rover mounts as it should be similar to the mk 3.

Sorry, mate says he just modified what was there to fit the chevy.
Worth a shot though.
