Which Dry Sump

[Davemk1trackcar]

Has anyone successfully fitted a Duratec engine, with an off the shelf Dry Sump, into a Mk1 Escort, if so which make/model?

They are all quite pricey, so want to make sure I buy the right one.

Many thanks

Hi

I make the Opi kits
And when I build them they are
Fitted to a block and a wrc crossmember
Is trial fitted to make sure everything
Is good

There is one bolt that is close if I remember
Correctly
But never had any fitment complaints
In the time That I have been making these kits

That said a Drysump of any description
Is a aftermarket mod”
So there is normally a chassis mod of some sort around the corner

Thx, will be in touch soon. Is that a standard wrc crossmember or the one with the lowered steering rack?

That dry-sump system has been 100% reliable, the only issue I ever had was the alternator coming loose and taking the dry-sump belt off the crank pulley.

Thanks All

I just need to get my head around paying £1800 for a sump, for an engine that costs half that?!

If you end up spending a lot on tuning the Duratec its money well spent

Is this the Raceline one on Gordon's?

I like the idea of the Raceline dry sump with the pump mounted up inside the sump. According to their website they are not for RWD setups?
