    Cossie sump swap

    If i change the 4wd sump on my engine to a 2wd one, do i need to change the pick-up pipe too for a 2wd one?
    Also, what about the dipstick?

    Dipstick should be ok, im guessing the pick up pipe is differant too, never had to do this myself, so not 100% sure. I know tht pro alloy mod a 2wd sump to big wings and do the cut out for steering rack for around £100.

    You will need a 2wd oil pickup.

    You can use your original 4x4 oil pump and pick up, all you have to do is tweak the oil spray bar inwards to allow the sump to sit flush against the bottom of the block, easy takes 1 minute to do, i know this as this is what im running on one of my cars.

    Will it clear the baffle or did you remove it?
