Hi guys.
Ok, here goes. As some know, our plan is to use the T5 engine in 1 of 2 RWD car choices. Having already had a quick measure up of the Bmw, the engine will fit, not a straight forward fit but where is the fun in that?? lol
I dont have access to the Cortina, but the first few issues will most likely be the same between the 2 cars anyway.
Problem 1... the sump. To clear the subframe/steering rack, the options are, mod the original, mod a Volvo 960 sump or custom sump (possibly dry sump kit)??
Problem 2... the dizzy cap. It sits at what will be the back the head, and therefore right in the way of the bulkhead.
Of these 2 problems, my main concern is the dizzy cap. So my first question (of a long line of many lol).... is there a way to run the engine on coil packs for example, rather than dizzy cap and rotor? Are there parts available from other Volvos that can be used to convert it from dizzy cap?
Please share any ideas you have, as Im a complete novice when it comes to Volvos, so I have no idea whats available.
Thanks muchly :-)
James
