maybe try dual pickups?

Regaurding the sump. How much space is between the back of the motor and the crossmember? ie how much room for the belly of the sump? I found these funny looking sumps which have a skinny but deep belly. Dont know if it solves your prob or not.

hmm i don't think that would work. Just under the oil pump is the powersteer rack.

baffles would help to stop that wouldn't they? the thing is the rear will be quite small and probably barely hold 1.5litres of oil

Bugger! im sure you guys will sort it.

How did you go with the exhaust.

Pickup at the front should prove no worry. Ford have been doing for yonks

Exhaust is going to be a 2.5" collector pipe - log style manifold. We figure that it should look pretty neat and is cheap so if it goes balls up we're not out of pocket alot of $.

Hopefully we'll have that done this week. We're currently working on the powersteering (commo rack).
