Title: Correct sump shape
Post by: slim on November 07, 2003, 09:10:38 PM
Can anyone provide a photo of the correct sump needed to put a red in a FC/EK.  I  have 2 one from a red motored EJ with HR disc front , and 1 from a FC with red motor Disc brake front. I was always under the impression that only EH sumps fit , But apparently not. ANY HELP APPRECIATED !

Please tell us more (post photo maybe). I was also under the impression that only EH sumps would fit.

i thought the LC and LJ Torana sumps fitted also as they come straight down at the back of motor to the deepest part giving a  bit more clearance around steering set up

You are right Nicko, one of my FC's is running an LC sump on it and it fits with no clearance problems
Cheers

I had a LX sump on the first red I fitted to my car, I didn't even think about clearance till I got to the end of the road in the test drive and had to do a 10 point turn to get back. A couple of days later I fixed the problem with a EH sump and pickup.
