| Re: Sumo Engine replacement Hi,
I am in the process of doing this conversion for a customer at the moment.
Rover conversion from 2lit. pinto on an early SEV Sumo.
The engine setup will fit quite nicely however it will require the P6 type front pulley and waterpump to get enough clearance to the steering rack.
I may need to alter the bulkhead braces to gain enough clearance for exhaust headers and I had to remove the strut brace to get the engine in.
Other wise it looks to be reasonably easy.
I would recommend buying a scrap engine to strip out and use as a light weight dummy for the purposes of fitting as it will have to be hauled in and out a few times and it is easier to fit the gearbox/bellhousing without the crank and flywheel there.
I will have to update this with the progress as I go.
Andy
