Hi gents l am building a luego with a1800 black top zetec. I bought a shortend sump off ebay and would like to know if l need to fit baffels to it, if so any ideas on how to do this thanks les

It is probably best to do so, but having said that I didn't baffle mine and have had no issues with oil starvation.

Stu

Personally I would. I had a shortened un-baffled sump on my silvertop zetec and suffered oil starvation that completely ruined my engine. Needless to say I now have a baffled sump which we managed to enlarge also to gain some more oil capacity which helps massively.

I believe the blacktop is a steel sump so should be fairly easy to weld some baffles inside.

if its for some track work then probaly yes

Hi Gents thanks for the info. Does anyone have diamensions or drawings of baffels l could get made up thanks les
