The pumps are different and so are the oil pickup pipes used in both types, you can bolt either pump to the block, but you must use a 2wd pickup with a 2wd pump and a 4x4 pickup with a 4x4 pump (they aren't physically interchangeable, the feed to the oil spray bar is in different locations on each setup). As to whether you can use a 2wd pump/pickup with a 4x4 sump, i'm not sure on that one, easiest option is to source a 4x4 pump + pickup, job done
