For those who have done this conversion, did you have to modify your sump to get it low enough for the motor to clear the bonnet, also what needs to be done to the tunnel, it says in the wiki abit of massaging is needed but it looks like ill need to do a new tunnel possibly a 200b or similar
Thoughts /experiances would be good
Cheers

It depends on your chice of gearbox you are more than welcom to come and have a look at mine

I got a bluebird 5 speed for it, where are you located mate

My sump is modded to get sitting low and cross member made to suit l20b too so ut sits low.
Personally I'd get a big tunnel I have bluebird or stanza and I still have to tilt engine to get box out and its a squeeze. U wouldn't get it out with a massaged tunnel. You would have to drop it all out from under car

Im in merrylands west sydney

How much did you notch your xmember unfamiliar , do you have any pics, or if they are in your thread do you know what page they are on

Ask pig dog, he made it.

crossmember is notched down to where the folded cut up section ends, theres a bit of a profile line along the from of the crossmember, i just followed that

as for the sump you need a bluebird ones im pretty sure, as they are the closest to the engine, then you will have to modify it from there. pretty sure i didnt have to do a whole heap of cutting to get unfams sump how i wanted it

tunnel, you can get away with a stock one if you just want then engine physically in the car. if you want to do it well and give enough room for anything around the box then i'd go a new tunnel. 120y ones work pretty well, stanza, 180b, 200b are all pretty similar but need a bit more work to make fit.
you'll also most likely need to move the handbrake back a bit with the bluebird box

with this crossmember and sump i got an L20b to clear the bonnet with the standard airbox







my sump was a lot more modified than the one in unfams car though

A bat sump would be nice now though

thanks for the replys i knotched my xmember today, i notched it abit more than the one pigdog posted, i left about 15mm from the bottom of the xmember to the top of the notch, then i unstitched the thin plate on the bottom of the xmember and welded a length of 5mm plate back on about double the length of the standard plate, hopefully its strong enough, if not i have another xmember to have another go at it, i just wanted to make sure it wasnt the notch in the xmember which would hold it up, so now to get the motor sitting roughly where i want it and see what to do with the sump/mounts
