Progress not a lot but a bit
After having the engine in and out a few times and susing out what needs to be cut off, removed, rellocated the first job was to make the sump smaller to clear the n/s tie rod chassis mount, would have been nice to have removed the 2nd oil pick up bowel at the front of the sump as well as this is a bit close to the steering rack but i have another cunning plan for that later, must say the sump detail with its two gullys and oil return pipe from the block to keep the sump filled at the pump pick up points is quite reasuring, i have lost 0.3 of a litre by removing a section of the sumpbut i'm not to worried
