Can anyone tell me if the sump from a 1300 crossflow with an automatic box will fit a 1600 crossflow.I am still looking for a sump for my 1600 engine and have found an automatic engine and box,as the auto sump is already shorter than a manual i would like to use it but have heard that the crank may foul due to the longer stroke.

Thanks I have also just found out that the sump wont come off the engine when still in the car, so think I will keep looking or else modify the FWD sump the engine is presently fitted with.
