I know the RS2000 sump is an alternative to give better ground clearance, are there any other options without chopping the original?

Ummm not many. You can have a hump in the bonnet, but thats a preference i suppose! Remember the oil filler cap on the rocker cover is usually too high to fit under a normal bonnet too! So you might want to chop that about too (usually moved to the rear of the cover)

MK Engineering will chop your sump for you for not much money, £65, if you dont want to do it yourself.

Remember its better to have the engine as low as poss to get the centre of gravity as low as possible (but make sure your sump has plenty of clearance)

Cheers


PS shouldnt you have posted this in the engine section LOL

Should have been more precise. What I meant was; are there any alternative sumps? I know the pinto one can be chopped but I'm keeping that as last resort.

option 2.. dry sump... option 3 stock car cars that run pintos and use there own type of sump very strong can't remeber the price over £120 the option i have gone for is the rs2000 alloy sump which is good but still hangs a bit below the chassis looks good though

End of story. I splashed out on an RS2000 alloy job for the price that MK would charge for modifying mine. Found it on www.partsgateway.co.uk - great service

Blimey!
And I did Conrod's for him for a manky pair of Sierra callipers!
