JTStarlet92 Posted February 6, 2013 Author Posted February 6, 2013 I've read this before but im planning on running on stock internals, kind of like a 5e take on robs turbo 4efe? Quote
AdamB Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Swap the sumps and oil pick ups for the 4e items onto the 5e engine. You will also need to swap the oil filter housings as it has the turbo feed from the 4efte motor. Some say this can be held on with the one large centre bolt, others drill and tap the 5e block for the other 3 fittings. You will also need the 4efte thermostat housing. Quote
