Hello members,
I'm doing a S14, SR20 swap in my FD Rx7 and need some help.
looking to purchase a rear sump oil pan, oil pick up tube and dip stick.

Hoping someone can help, thanks.

There isn't a "rear" sump oil pan. There is a RWD and a FWD oil pan.

Thanks for the quick response. Yes, I'm aware of the two oil pan variations. However, I'm aware that some people doing RWD engine swaps have also modified the oil pan to eliminate cutting up the power plant frame/cradle.

I have one in my rx7...I cut the pickup tube and extended it keeping it close to the girdle then dropped it down I thin about 2 inches where stock pickup is...cut the upper oil pan and welded a box shape for the entire pan and put drain in the side...I don't recommend using an aluminum bung as I think mine may have stripped out already but explore options!

My point being, you'll have to have one fabricated...

Set your engine height and placement first then do the oil pan...I think that's how we did mine...I'm surprised no one has hopped on making these yet...
