Duratec ground clearance issues

Hi All,

A friend of mine is building a super spec with a duratec engine from a mondeo. His latest issue which I am sure is not insurmountable is ground clearance which he says is 2inches from sump to ground. Is there a way around this as a shortened sump is not part of his plans.

Any help with this will be gratefully received.

Thanks in advance

It’s been a standing problem for all SuperSpecs.  I must admit I don’t have any experience of the Duratec engine as I have the Rover ‘T’.  I’m on my second sump having holed my first one.  I managed to gain a bit by winding up the shocks And I then fitted a fairly heavy duty stainless guard.  So I still ground fairly often but it is the guard that takes the punishment.
 

I’m sure other Superspec owners will have other ideas.
