Lol, can't believe you're posting this!
They are front sump, you need a hq sump for a gem.

Re: 304 to gem
same block/sump patern all the way to VT commo?

Re: 304 to gem
Correct.
The sumps are cheap as s*#t off eBay but the oil pic ups are a little harder to come by.
what's the plan??

Re: 304 to gem
Are early 308 carby blocks the same as the injected 304 blocks?
Re: 304 to gem
Not really. Most parts are interchangeable but the blocks do vary on design.
Late vs series 2 to the end of production are hailed as the strongest and have the best oil delivery but I think alot of it is hype really

Re: 304 to gem
Why are you even contemplating a 5L?
Answer is clearly LS1 or 1uz. Grind weld skid

Re: 304 to gem
costs involved. 304 i could buy a whole SS that would have everything i need for less then what i could get just the LS engine on its own for.
1UZ would be fine, but again i could get a whole SS for the same price as a manual box and clutch to suit the 1UZ
3800 is looking more likely for easy of swap

Re: 304 to gem
my drift car.
my old tired 4zd1 has lasted along time getting the s*#t flogged out of it.. so a lazy 5L should be fine
