Hey all.
I have this sump that I picked up today from a mate, that apparently suits a 308 into LC/LJ. Nooow, the problem I see is, is it doesnt look like it will hold enough oil.
I have been told that the more predominant design for this is to be a bit deeper at the back end, or with a duel pick up? (if thats just rumour or not, im not sure).
This one was just cut and welded, and I will re-weld + grind and dress up a bit before using if it will work. What is your opinion? Do you think it is a goer, or a thrower?

As Rory said sell that one & get the best one you can afford high energy sump as it's not worth risking an engine when there is a much better product for a few hunderd bucks more.Star Performance is much cheaper if you have a good exchange sump.

Thanks guys, I rang American Autos today, and they want a bit over $300 for the Hi Energy one (Do you know if they're baffled?)
And where do I contact Star Performance? Who are they?

In mine I have the Eliminator Pan,good quality & well designed.

Go with the SuperPan, totally baffled with crank sraper as well as pick up....the best...by the way...the dipstick on your other one is on the wrong side...just FYI.

Hahaha ok, thanks mate...100% wont be using that one anyway, but thanks! I didnt realise how expensive a sump was. I mean, i didnt expect it to be dirt cheap, but sheeesh...the dipstick on your other one is on the wrong side...just FYI.
