yorkshire_spam Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 I seem to remember something about Dolomite being fine, but Spitfire needs sump swap (and maybe flywheel?) But somebody with something more definitive than my vague memories will probably confirm the details?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 As above, yes, but if sourced from a herald or spitfire it will need the sump swapping, possibly the oil pump? But nothing difficult and gives you the chance to check the sump is clean, and have a look at the crank bearings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete nettleton Posted June 26, 2022 Author Share Posted June 26, 2022 ok thanks just got to find one now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPearce Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 As said above, Dolomite and Toledo engines are fully interchangeable, Spitfire has a different sump. However, the 1500 may not mate with the Toledo gearbox as the input splines are different. The Toledo clutch won't fit the 1500 flywheel and the Toledo flywheel won't fit the 1500 crank. All of these are work-around-able, though: - Toledo flywheel on 1500 crank requires the four bolt holes reamed out from 3/8" to 7/16" - There is a clutch driven plate that fits between a 1500 clutch housing and the Toledo gearbox - I think it's 1500FWD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
