I am building an MK Indy, still unsure which engine to go for. Have been offered an RS2000 engine for a VERY reasonable price, recon with history. Will it fit? Any known issues? etc. etc.

its the engine most peeps use but you may have to chop the sump,could be a prob if its alloy

Original RS2000 engines had a shallow sump as standard,but i dont know how shallow.

The engine will fit the indy no problems as its a pinto in disguise.

Not even in disguise really!

Yeah your right its just a 2 litre pinto with an ally sump.

the sump still sticks below, the back is more likely to bottom out than the front, get it balanced and mild tuned and you'd be laughing.
