The sump........
Major drama.......
its back the front ......
Cant be converted easilly because the oil galley for the oil pump is drilled too short .........
meaning.... the oil pump & pickup is in the wrong spot and cant be shifted easilly.
It can be done, by making a new pickup for the oil pump. Sadly the main oil gallery just isnt drilled far enough as there is a 2nd mounting position for the oil pump cast into the block so it would be a straight forward conversion if that gallery was drilled out.
I've drilled out a couple but its not as easy as it sounds, the drill bit needs to be 550mm long !, & if it breaks during the drilling .......
you'll need a Plan 'B'
Plan 'B' = shifting the front diff as far away from the sump as posiable
