Vinnie,
A EH Sump and pick up will fit and i think LC-LJ Torana 6
will fit also.

Funny I was just doing the same thing today...sump sorting.... The EH sump is used for the conversion....Make sure the engine mounts when relocated are hanging over the rear of the crossmember by the thickness of the mount ( about 3-4  mm) Bware of engine mounts that are not in this location as you will fol the steering and make it harder for  fitting of cooling fan if mounted too far foward. There is another sump I have seen used  and that is the HT sump but I can tell you that its tolerences for clearing the steering is so fine and you have to weld the mounts in whilst suspending the engine ...its best not attempted due to so manyvariables...Have seen it pulled off and wondered why someone would do it this way when the EH sump is the easy alternative....cheers streetneat.

Thanks guys
i ended up modifying the sump and pickup as boof head me found out that the EH sump could not be put on with the motor in.Funny that i got the motor from an exact conversion as i was doing and i have now found that me engine sits that little closer towards the front. Not a day too soon if i had to take the sump off again- what a bitch of a job.
