Will the oil pan from a 7mge fit directly onto a 7mgte???????????

it will physically bolt to the block, but im unsure if the oil pumps are exactly the same.

there are also 2 types of oil pans: front and mid sump. so if you are swapping between them, you need to change to pumps over too.

It's the front pan and I doubt the pumps are the same also, so does that mean it wouldn't work? Because I don't know if the 7mge oil pump will suffice, for the 7mgte.

as i recall, the front sump 7m pan only came from the cressida. if you post pics of what pans you have i could give you a better prognosis.

if they are both front sump then is should bolt on no problem, oil pump match and all. if yours was originally a mid sump, and you have a front sump pan, then youll have to swap a front sump oil pump in. vice versa for the other other way around.

I'm fairly certain the 7MGTE uses a stronger oil pump than the 7MGE.

Both oil pans were used in the Supra, one was pre89 the other was 89+. i just don't remember which pan went with what year

i must just be gettin all the wierd parts or swapped around stuff. my 88 was mid sump, my freinds 87 is mid and other freinds 87 is mid, and the two cressida pans ive seen (89 and 90) were both front sump.

i know the MK2's use front sump too. as for the oil pumps, ive got 4, 2 are from gte's and i took on of each apart, and i havent been able to find a difference between em, measuring clearances etc.

but thats still not a positive thing so

.....damn you toyota for not being consistent....i mean consistent...CRAP!
