Red, EH sump is the one to use. The low part sits behind the drag link.

I have recently been told that the HK,T,G sump will fit. I haven't seen one installed though. Any one else heard this? They are very similar to the HR sump.

EH after many hours of research.
Keep an eye out for them. They are not cheap these days.

I would have thought being an HR front end the ideal would have been HR?

Pinky,
Because the red motor has to move (back i think) from its original mounts on the HR Front end.
a HR sump then hits.

Cheers

See how the KTG sump has the stepped back? Apparently this allows it to fit. To my mind if they fit in FB-EK, they should fit in FE-FC.
