Hi I am new to the VQ series engines and was wondering if anyone could tell me whether the Sump gaskets and pans are interchangable between the different engine sizes?

 

Not sure why you're asking that ... new aftermarket pans are relatively cheap and the gaskets are like $10.00.

 

To an extent yes. When swapping 3.5s and 3.0s between manual and auto sometimes you must swap upper pans. I am no expert on this, i have only read about it here.

Be more specific in your question and we may have an answer.

 

The reason I ask the question is:
I intend using a VQ20DE+T as the engine in a race boat I am Building and was wondering whether the sump from the VQ32DE would fit as I can get a Dry sump pan for one of those from
