Hi Geoff not sure if I should people on a ford site my plans but I've got a honda f20c engine and box that's going in. Only parts I need I've already sourced so once I make some progress ill post pics in the showroom page. I've started stripping the car engine box and diff will be out by Sunday so like I said in the earlier post if anyone is interested in free parts let me know what u want and I'll put it aside for you.

Another f20c in a mk1! Nice!!
If you haven't seen already I've started my build thread on here doing the same (all be it very slowly)..
Id be interested to see how you go about the install!! 

Just checked out your build page looks awesome. If u have problems finding a f20c and box I have he number of a guy parting out a s2000 and wants $4000 for both

Ive got the engine & box, cost me less than $4k too 

I picked a blown one for $500, engines rebuilt and ready to go just worried about fitting it. I'm turbo charging it which won't leave much room bu hopefully nothing a angle grinder won't fix lol. Have you fitted either the engine or box yet?

I haven't yet. Will be next on the list.
The problem your going to find is (standard) sump an oil pump clearance over the crossmember/steering rack.

Yeah I read that on your build page, I'm sure it will be one of many problems ill run into. Ill be watching your build with interest good luck with it

Hi wayne, your project sounds great and should go like the wind, far too adventurous for a newby like me, I just need something that runs, so if your engine and box is available, i could use it.!!
If your projects progress is posted i'd like to be able to follow how you are going, take lots of pics,!! … others that are following a similar path to you, i'm also keen to follow. it may be a future way to go for me at some time in the future.
Cheers nosey Geoff.
 

Getting a motor as low as possible in a speedboat was necessary, so they were dry sumped, this may be a solution to the apparent problem, with the honda build.  As i remember, there was a scavenger pump, in a quite shallow wedge shaped sump, just clearing crankshaft with a remote container to contain the oil volume required, which was water cooled. There must have been another oil pump, info and bits should be readily available.
Do you think it may solve some problems with this build.??
 

google- … …  dry sump kit 
 
5th item down is worth a look.

Thought I'd write a quick article on how to build a dry-sump system that doesn't cost heaps and is not too hard to make. Too many people either ...
