I need to get the crank because it needs new conrods so I wondered if you take the sump of do you get straight to the crank or is there like something in-between??

No getting a second hand engine and replacing the job lot cba with the time ripping apart the crank and stuff so full engine is coming out and new one going in!!

Ford was gonna charge £4500 to replace it we've got an engine for £600 and we'll fit it ourselves

Update on this, new engine is coming this week and me and my dad will be putting it in this weekend i will post some pics and stuff of the engine change so if any of you guys need to do it know whats going on :)
