As far as I know, LC and LJ sumps are unique and differ from LH-UC.

well they look similar, at a glance i would say it was the same, ive got a mate comming over to help with the engine swap, and need to utilise his time, and not have to stuff around with the sump, i suppose the best thing to do would be use the one off the 161,

LH-UC dose not fit LC/LJ at all. Has a step in it at the back of it which make the sump sit forward and will hit the x member. A LC/LJ sump will fit LC-UC. If you want the pics, send Freg, a PM for them. He found out the hard way

The gasket should be the same, cause its just a red holden 6. The actual sump will be different in shape though.

Hey Bomber Watson <_< we had this discussion last year when i had just put 186 out of LH into LJ and was needing to cut the frontend to fit it 
instead we pulled it out fitted LJ sump and whalah 
fits much better 
as said b4 yours must already have come from LC/LJ
LJ has clearance for frontend ah
Shite Thats not the same Bomber Watson my missus has on the wall :finger:
