Aristo GTE is front sump and will not clear the SC/Soarer crossmember. If you do a search, you will find a ton of info on this.

Can you just use the sump from the stock GE motor and swap it onto the GTE?

Or you could just answer the question with a simple yes or no instead of typing a sarcastic reply.

The car cranked and started on the first try. Got the thing running to move around the shop. Intercooler has been mounted and bodywork has begun.

Intercooler and piping done.

you did a hell of a job on the swap, looking good. if you need some gauges by any chance I have some forsale. 60mm Greddy Peak Hold Gauges and Pillar Panel. EGT, BOOST, Fuel Pressure. The gauges have blue l.e.d lighting instead of the green.

Progress.

Cold side piping retains all factory components with no relocating.
