wouldnt mine seeing some pictures, but i think the sump cut is the better option, then trying to put the ef sump on the au block as well as the timing cover, if you were going to go to all that trouble you mght as well just get a another ef engine to shove in

Part of the structural integrity of the motor.... they go into the main bearing caps.

Had little funds to get another motor so just threw the AU motor in for as little cost as we could.... Didnt really know what the AU motor was like so just took a chance.....

Cut K frame, weld in some 4mm steel plates, done. I knew you could swap sumps if you swap covers, but its pointless. |

I had done another AU into EL this way before but I didnt do the sump transfer as it had already been done... had been in the car by a previous owner for 12 months and son managed to kill it in another 12 months..... He was giving it a fair bit (was 18) what can I say......
but it wasnt through throwing a rod.... a welsh plug let go, and as he was only doing short trips didnt take notice of the temp gauge til the motor seized......

Well what would you suggest to the op of this thread, which is the best way of doing it, doing the sump mod / k frame cut or fiting the ef/el sump and timing case on

IF you go through a few motors... I would do the K-Frame cut....
otherwise its a line ball call......
