If the engine has the aircon pump I'd keep the A/C, the heat exchanger is only thin.

I have a montego 8V nasp sump on the rover vitesse (820 tubby) engine in my T16 maestro, the sump from the O series, the M series and the T series share the same bolt pattern APART from the 620, you'd need to drill new holes to fit it.

I wonder if it wouldn't be easier to convert the sump.

unless i buy a 620 engine. Am sure i can come up with a way of engineering a way round it, Being on of HRH's finest and that lol, ill figure it out when i get there lol

You can't convert a tin sump to accept the lower stabiliser, well you can but it wont last 5 minutes lol

I'll prob just tap the block if the sump holes are slightly bigger, or just put plenty of that sump sealant on ( name of which is escaping me at the mo). Wnt be a problem
