Mick Melia Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Hi all. I was just hoping if this was the place to find a manta sump for my c20xe Chevette project. I realise I'm not a fellow manta owner but just thought if someone had one kicking about they might be tempted to sell. Cheers guys Mick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bones Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 (edited) Might be worth a look at a Yukspeed steel sump. http://www.yukspeed.com/parts.htm A picture on ebay of full XE fitting kit. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vauxhall-2-ltr-c20-xe-Engine-into-RWD-Convertion-Kit-Escort-Manta-Westfield-/261139556961?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3ccd216a61 Edited December 9, 2012 by bones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Abbott Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 (edited) Cheap way to do it is to take a 8v fwd sump and add big wings to it. Edit. 8v steel sump, cost about £40 brand new Edited December 9, 2012 by Kevin Abbott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batz Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 i noticed on ebay if you put in c20xe manta, you can buy installation kits for mantas capri etc, it includes sump,engine mounts, gearbox bellhousing and a few other bits, costs 520quid, not sure how you post links to stuff on ebay, hope it helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was well happy to pay it and that's why us manta boys have to pay more for them as the ford boys seem to have more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Power Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Right, we are in the process of getting a batch of 1800 manta sumps re-cast. I have the first-off casting in the workshop now (as of this tuesday) and we expect to have stock some time during March These are cast aluminium sumps, and are exactly as per the original manta items, except for having a very slightly thicker mounting flange to make them a little more robust than the originals. Sale price on here will be £210 plus vat, i.e. £252 I re-emphasise, these are not fabricated items, they are cast as per the originals, and have identical outer shape and internals, they also will fit exactly as per the original item. Hope this puts minds at rest re. continued supply of these 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
