Normal sump will fit but you have to modify it.

There is a sheet metal inside the sump, preventing the oil from swashing around. You may need to cut it out to make room for the oil return pipe coming from above. I simply punched it through with a chisel. Don't drill or you'll have to clean the sump pedanticly afterwards.

this is true

i did drill tho and it went well

hold a old speaker under the drilling and it'll catch most of it then wash it out a few times
