Even if you moves the oil pickup position etc everything else would be wring and under different forces. Sorry to break it to you. Saw the 2.1 that was made never saw it running though.
Also welcome
Thanks for the info.
I wondered if there were any gotchas - I came across a post where a guy bought a boat with two XUDs that had been marinised and uprighted. One camshaft busted after 40 hours running, iirc. It might have been faulty oil pickup if the installer had bodged the sump inadequately, of course, but who knows.
There's a vid of the 2.1 Scim firing up - I haven't found any later ones of it on the road.
