I have put an F10a into a Lj stockman, seams the stearing link rubs the sump, do i change the sump/cut it weld it or is it a engine mount issue?

maybe hiway star can help you here

Use the F8a sump.

thanks, That was the first option, F8a sump had the same issue I suspect it was from a different machine - or engine mount issue, before i got it someone bashed the sump in - put a hole in it then filled it with devcon/putty.

Well... don't use that sump then. If you use an LJ sump use an LJ pickup too. Which steering arm BTW?

Can you post some pics of the mounts, also does it look like the mounts on the chassis have been rewelded (may have had a toyota or something in it at sone stage)

Definitely need pictures (engine mounts, steering, sump, etc). This "should" be a very easy conversion!

I have put 16mm nuts under the engine mounts so the sump has a slight clearance to the drag link, the 16mm nuts lifted the engine 15mm, now the dizzy hits the bonnet its at a angle approx. 120 deg - and I assume it should have the adaptor plate from the F8a to make it at 90 deg. photos should be up.

it seams the sump is on backwards but the bolt holes only allow the sump to fit one way.

You need to use the F8 dizzy housing on the back of the head. You can see mine below, the dizzy should be pointing out the passenger side:



Old photo, you can see that the sump should have the drop on the front:


You have to use the F8 pickup as well. The bolt holes for the sump should line up.....

thanks for that, seams i have a few incorrect components - on both f8a and f10a for a lj
