I have pretty much everything required for this and am located in Lincolnshire too.

In workshop at the mo:-

Bellhousing
release fork
starter spacer
long and short Caterham manifolds
exhaust with cat
water rails
etc. etc.

Haven't thought about prices as some of it is spares for the race car but I do have a habit of keeping too much so am open to the thought of a bit of garage clearing.

When I first fitted a fitted a K series in the Westfield I used a standard early tin sump without any issues.
I even used the car for sprinting.
Really dose depend on how much ground and bonnet clearance though. It was just about acceptable on mine (ground Clearance wise) but I wouldn't of wanted it any lower.
If you have to fit the Caterham wet sump have a good search through the posts on Blatchat. They seem problematic at best for anything other than road use but there are some mods that can be done to the gasket and an Apollo tank (a kind of swirl pot) is a must.

Starter motor wise I gave up trying to find a standard one form another car to fit after trying all sorts that were listed and ended up biting the bullet and buying one from Caterham.
Nice compact bit of kit though.

Sorry Don't have any bits to sell but hope this helps.

Cheers
Ian

Stil need a starter motor.
No the part numbers but seems there are two different motor body sizes.

Anyone got a suitable starter.
