Hi, I have just spent the last 18 months putting together a cossy powered Anglia 105e. I started with the mexico sump and had an oil return put in it and made my owm bracket ( a pain to get the spacing right!). The only problem is the amount of oil it holds (not enough!) On long trips the oil was getting to hot, as there not much room for cooling in an Anglia. I then had a 2wd sump modified and bat wings put on it, I also fitted an oil cooler in the inner wing, but was informed I needed an up rated oil pump, only after I put it all back together. Got hold of an up rated oil pump, now I have good oil pressure and temperature. I had to modify the crossmeber slightly, not sure how much on an Escort though. I have moved my air filter to the inner wing as it was only taking in hot air under the bonnet. Where do you live? As I could recommend some of the companies I used to get the alloy welding done. You can also try http://www.oldskoolford.co.uk there are a lot of cosy escorts on there.

Hope this helps.
