Unique Oil Pan

[Smitherz]

Has anyone run across an oilpan like this one? I've never seen one like this on a 1UZ. I'm trying to I.D. this engine I got by the mechanical components. Check it out. :shrug:

Of course here is the common pan from a front sump, which is the only one I'm familiar with.

What year and model are those two pans for? I assume it would be the 1990-1994 and 1995-1997 oil pan right?

I hope so! I bought that 1996 (supposedly) engine last week that I would like to use instead of the early 1UZ engine that I've been polishing up. I'm going to get a picture of the engine VIN # and run it on Carfax I guess. Hopefully that will confirm that it's the newer engine. Tomorrow I'll be dropping off the newer heads for the full flow treatment. I'm ready to go full time on this project after the headwork. I guess my engine builder stalling a little kinda worked out in the end. More to come on this...

I just pickup a 1995 LS400. I am the second owner.... extreme quiet.
