a friend of mine thinks all thats needed to fit the ba engine into E series is to "shave the sump a tad" and "custom engine mounts" surely it takes more than this from wat ive read on this forum?

if you did a search you would have found quite a few threads on this...
its not quite that simple,the ba sump cannot be modified enough to clear the k frame, so a modified k frame is needed. and the e series engine mounts will fit fine, the more complex bit is getting it to run.... |

he reason the ba sump cannot be modified is the ba oil pump is at the front of the sump and there is a bulge cast into the sump to clear the oil pump...

Not tryin to undermine you there troyman, but what about this? ford-4l-and-6-cylinder-f1/au-sump-mod-for-e-series-t79648.html I thought the pickup was too far foward too. This is spinning me out though unless the pickup from a EL bolts to the AU block the same like what would be in a hybrid motor... Or a customized pickup...

Thats an AU sump, not a BA/BF sump if that makes any difference...

Ohk, my new thing learned for the day.
I thought AU/BA had same/similar bottom end design.

it very well may... I have no idea... just sticking my 2c worth in...
 I thought they'd be nothing alike going from SOHC to DOHC and everything else about seemed different...

That makes sense. New engine design.
They look similar from the outside.
