Is this a V8 Soarer Sump?

[Dr G]

Are these pictures of a V8 Soarer Sump?

Does anyone have pictures of the LS400 sump for comparison?

Thanks for any help!

looks like mine.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I've bought an LS400 which I'm going to keep as a daily driver, but I'm also about to do a swap of a 1UZ V8 into my Lotus Excel. I have been informed that the Soarer sump is the one to use for this. Hence, why I have bought the item above.

I'm now a little worried as I read on a UK Soarers owners website that the upper cast alloy pan, lower pressed steel pan, dip stick, dip stick tube, and oil pick up pipe are all different? Is this correct? Do I need all these items to constitute a sump 'swap' with my front sump.

Thanks for any information you can give me!

Hard to say... we need to see other parts.

If you want to change sumps you do need the complete unit including pan , alloy sump casting , pickup , baffle , bolts (some are different) , dipstick and tube. Set thread of all three sumps photographed.

I could really confuse things as I also have a sump from a 4x4 crown at the moment. I have a member on here who wants a front sump and has a rear sump from the UK if you would like to deal with them. Otherwise I will be sending a front sump over. Cheers
