just wondering i am about to do an engine conversion putting a 1.6 carby in my sierra i have heard you need to put the 1.3 sump on the 1.6 because there isn't enough clearance, i have a spoa lift do you think i will be able to fit the 1.6 sump or will i still need to change them over?

That depends a bit on how your SPOA is set up, but there's normally plenty of room to use the 1.6 sump.

I've seen some very low and unbumpstopped spoa's with 1.6 sumps.

i have a spring under SWB with a 1.6 and have no problems with sump clearance however i
have moved my diff forward a fair bit. it only has 25mm bumpstops as well

if i do need to change the sump is it a stright swap over

sump yes. oil pickup no.

There's cutting and welding involved in swapping the oil pickup over.

Good point shep - RUF, for instance, helps a lot.
