Wasso Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 V8's are overrated, I wouldn't bother! If you want the pan volume I'll see what I can do for you, however looking at your frontal photo, it's not big enough, but let me confirm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 Evening. I'm not happy with it - sorry but the sump just won't do, Had a chat with @Wasso and it seems the Monaro holds the least oil at 6l and other cars with LS engines start at closer to 8l and go up, After market sumps for the conversion manage 7.7l and up so I can to I don't want to wreck an engine through low oil and the general opinion is they run hot, this is one of the reasons for large oil capacity. I NEED MORE OIL CAPACITY! Also I notice that some of the after market sumps like Sikky manage to keep the rear plate that joins onto the bottom of the bell housing As this photo from the Sikky website shows. I want one of those So I took the engine back out and laid it on it's side Then fitted the standard sump See it has the back on it! Not for long cause I cut it off Remember this - It's back to this A visit to the mill We now have Told you I should have started again in the first place Now the back plate Mill time My base plate is 10.2mm Thick according to the micrometer So..... 10.2mm removed - theory says it should line up perfectly. Did some basic clean up on the mill to get to here That now goes on the base plate Bolted it on then tack welded in place. Welded and cleaned up To finish off I made sure it still fit Happy now I have that So next job is to build the rest of it from scratch with a bigger pan. I also spotted that there is no dipstick hole in the sump, something to be addressed before it is finished.

reeceybeaney Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Awesome bit of back yard engineering going on there! Hope to one day have my own set up with maybe a CNC machine... For now I'll just have to work for other people 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 Hi All, Update - You may be disappointed. I've shown it fits (and I've done one before) so the rest is just wiring and ancils etc. BUT I actually want to take on a big project - those that watch things like Project Binky on YouTube will understand the level I want to attempt - not saying I'll do it but I want to try I also want to do something different, I've done Rally cars, engine swaps and built both 350 and 370 SC'd cars. I was going to go retro, Mk1 Cortina or similar but after a lot of thought I decided on something I know nothing about, never built one, never driven one just seen them. A Street Rod or Hot Rod I'm not even certain where they change from one to the other yet Any how the Zed Shell will now be stripped (advert for parts soon) and when the big bits have gone I will have room for my latest and newest Project. Here it is ................ A 1955 Ford Pop unfinished by the previous owners but some good parts to be getting on with. Photos from previous owber - This is what I picked up and outside the Zed Shed waiting for a space to be made I'll start a build thread in other cars for anyone that is interested in something not even slightly Zed related. That is all. Keyser Maximum Effort 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veeg33 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Oh well.....at least you are still building something...that's the main thing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrnet Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Muchly looking forward to this, V8's in 350's, you've done one you've done them all. Could see why your heart wouldn't perhaps be in it. This will constitute "proper" old school tinkering. Hurry up!!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
