No, they're not the same. The front timing chain cover is different, the oil pan is different, it's rear sump I think as well. All 240 engines are Japanese, and the Frontier engines were made in Mexico. On a side note, they make dry sump pans for the Frontier variants.

wow, quite interesting! Dry sump u say ? what other info do you have on this? i like the sound of drysump 240, i wonder if it's allowed in gt3 class scca cars?

I wouldn't know, you'll have to refer to the rule book. As far as the dry sump, all the info I have on it is that ARE makes a pan for it haha. Sadly it's cast. I do know that it's only for the Mexican blocks though. Like I said, I'm pretty sure the only differences are the front/valve cover, and the location of the oil pick up. Which in the case of dry sump wouldn't matter.
