After completing the modification I went on to mount it on the (yet again) disassembled front of the 164 engine. One final modification I found necessary is to pull the timing indicator pin out of the Milano lower engine cover - it interfers with the crank angle gear on the 164 pulley assembly. New gasket under the cover, the crank pulley assembly back on, re-install and tension T-belt + tensioner...

When all this out of the way I started looking at mounting the Milano sump. For test fitting I pulled the old Milano sump gasket and aligned it with the 164 block. I put a coupld of threads of each bolt in to test the fit. It looks like I only need to drill two completely new holes in the 164 block and then drill out the threads in holes on the front half of the 164 block - the Milano sump has threads that take a bolt from the top.
