Thread: Lowport/highport oil pan interchangabilty?

Anyone know if I can take a USDM lowport upper and lower oil pan and put it onto a U13 highport block? Do the baffles need to be changed? Do the oil dipsticks need to be swapped aswell? I have two lowport upper/lowers and my highport oil pan is trashed.

nope. the det block is thinner than the de/ve motors.

yep, det is different than the de. If it was a de highport vs lowport then yes you can swap upper and lower oil pans ect. The upper baffle is the same but the lower baffle is different. I believe the dipsticks are the same length and so on as well. But yeah det blocks are slightly skinnier at the bottom to accomidate the awd trans.
