I have heard that you can addapt a Rover V8 Sump to these fairly easily. If you look at your Sump it is in 2 parts. If you unbolt the lower half you have a flat flange to bolt to. The rover sump also bolts to a flat flange.

George Haddad, of Haddad race cars, makes Russell Oil Pans. Makes some of the best sumps in the country.

Only problem is that I need the top part of the sump made thinner at the front for my high steer. I could have got away with sitting the motor higher and only doing the bottom part of the sump but I wanted the motor as lower then that for a better centre of gravity.

Gents why not get a rear sump our of an SC400?
There are a lot of people prepared to swap a rear for front or rear for mid etc as there are 3 different versions of htis sump around.
Try looking at ASLC and lextreme or toymods.
