Referring back to your other post about not being able to weld aluminium, if you cut down your existing alloy sump and send it down to me I can weld an aluminium plate on the bottom for you.

I have a ATR shortened sump on the bottom of a Zetec Blacktop block, the head has been removed for bore inspection which is all good. Message me if interested.

Hi
Thanks for your reply, not sure if the black top will fit the silver top. However worth a try please pm some pic and your asking price.

The black Top and silver top engines use the same cast iron cylinder block
The heads are also very similar but silver top uses hydraulic cam followers but the black are solid.
Also as said earlier the sumps are completely different.
