No, but i'm in the middle of developing a baffled an gated sunp for them.

Much cheaper than going dry.

PM me if you want details.

Cool but that doesn't help with the oil pump issue

A mate of mine is fitting a dry sump to a FWD Zetec in a Mk2 Orion shell

He just want to chat to see what problems they had

Or is her the 1st to fit one?

He's not doing to bad too, I think he will be sorted soon as he had to move his alternator up 50mm and out by 7mm, lower the oil pump by 20mm and a few other things like belts but he said its not a problem.

It could be the ultimate N/A 2.1 Silver top zetec, by the Austin way he's got a ST170 head but wants to see what it will do with the silver top head first.
