I would say no. Where the sump comes down looks like it would go right into the cross member. I dont know for sure though.

i have a bit of an :OT: or opinon question, i need to get this car on the road somewhat fast but also at a low budget. my issue is shifters for a t5, how bad is the stock?? should i buy a stock one go ahead and spend some money (give or take $100) for a used steeda tri ax or B&M pro ripper? thanks for any help

Just use the stock one? If it is not a necessity like an oil pan is I would spend that money on an oil pan. I think you can buy them new from a parts store for like 80 bucks or can prob pick up a used one cheap on ebay or craigslist.

The stock shifter isnt bad. What you need to do is get a new handle for it. The little rubber bushing inbetween the handle and the shifter is what gives it that sloppy feel. What I did was buy a shorter aftermarket handle and put it on the stock shifter. That will give you the feel of a short shifter. I've had mine like this for years and seen much track time with it and dont plan on changing it.

ok thanks i just dont have one at all so i thought if i had to buy one maybe i should use that money to put toward a better shifter than stock.

ah gotcha, yea, I would pick up a stock shifter and get it running first. Car looks good for $500.
