got a little quesion for ya iam putting a zetec into a saxo track car but the engine is a mondeo 2l. ive read on the net that most people use the fiesta sump could i still mod this sump on this engine. and why do people change the sump. cus ive looked and i cant see what probs ill have if i fit it with the mondeo one.

People use the Fiesta/Escort sump due to a bit of extra ground clearance.

In your aplication you may not need it. Infact you may be beter of with the Mondeo sump as it has the bowl in the middle giving more clearance for a crosmember.

Any photos of your chassis work ?

ive just taken the sump off and ive been looking at putting baffles in anyone got any pics. ive seen some with wings on is this a good idea to make up for the bottom iam gonna chop off

i am thinking of choping it along the line on the sump or taking about 40mm off


and then putting baffles in here on the right


and choping the pick up here


any ideas soz ive got no photo shop to do pics as my kids wiped it off some how lol

did your start off as a mondeo sump
adam


looks good

It is a mondeo sump but not my work.

Its the Scholar engines unit.

if you take off 40mm off a sump intended for track then you will defo need baffles and would be best if you can keep the oil volume the same by adding a box on the side of the sump and make sure your oil is at full before you go out in it.
the escort zetec is about 1" shorter and slightly different shape and the blacktop zetec is the easiest to weld as it has a steel bottom half to the sump.
