F.A.O. Johnmor re: Alfa V6 size issues
Did you have any problems with ground clearance with your Alfa V6 engine? Did you fit a shorter sump?
Your engine seems to fit OK without having to modify the bonnet, but the problem I'm having is height issues.
Even with a shortened sump it will be a good bit taller than a standard height Ford Zetec
Any information would be very useful
Thank You

Sump
Hi
Sorry for the late reply
I used the sump from an Alfa 75 V6 also the Oil pump, this reduces the overall height by around 50mm and allows clearance under the bonnet.
My cai a Viento, this has additional room under the bonnet any way but i think the finished height top to bottom was around 620mm
Hope this helps

Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes.
By that time, who cares.
You're a mile away, and you've got his shoes

Just to agree with Johnmor's measurement - I measured my v6 as 680mm top to bottom.
