Thanks

Hi Mike,

There is a person who sells on eBay who does all the P6 castings. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/kjbuckers/m.h ... rom=&_ipg= I don't know if he is in yorkshire but he seems to have all the paterns for making all the parts required. The only parts missing would be the pressed metal parts like the windage plate in the sump and the oil pump inlet filter and cover plate. I hope this helps.

Regards, Frank.

Hi Frank
Looks just the ticket, any ideas where I could pick up the bits you mentioned ?

Hi Mike,

The windage (baffle) plate may very well be available in the sump that comes off the engine if it has the oil pick up point toward the rear of the engine. If not it looks fairly easy to make out of sheet metal. The one in the Fordson sump is just a rounded bottom V shape plate with a hole towards the rear for the oil pick up tube. I can take pictures of mine as I have an engine in pieces undergoing a rebuild at the moment.

The cover and oil strainer assembly may also be on your existing sump depending on the engine that you have. The standard vehicle engine sump does not have the right plate but industrial versions may. If you have a choice make sure you get an engine with the oil pick up at the rear otherwise you will need to find / make an oil pick up tube as well.

PM me with your email address if you need pictures.

Regards, Frank.
