Pretty sure yes. I remeber having to remove the oil sump as well. IDK, I'll pull my project engien apart tomorrow to let you know for sure if nobody else replies by then.

You don't have to take the oil pan off if you can get the oil pickup tube off...be warned it's not the easiest.

well how do i get that off then ?whats the easiest way to do it ?

[nizmo240sx_22]

Be as careful as you can not to drop the oil pickup bolts in the oil pan.....if you do you'll be fishing with a magnet or droppin the crossmember to get the oil pan off. I've done it twice without removing the oil pan it's just the most time consuming part of the project. Good luck..

Try putting something under the bolt so it doesn't drop.
