Re: 3t sump
Well, is all a matter of choices here, the best and easiest/more efficient way is by modifying you engine bay cross member to accommodate the engine without modifying the sump system, if that is not an option then you can modified the oil pump pick up and oil pan sump to the position you need to be, but take in consideration that in a 3TC engine this procedure need to be performed by someone knowledgeable cuz you are tampering with a oil pump itself that is a single unit with the oil pump pick up unit that is part of that unit, plus baffling the oil pan the right way to prevent oil starvation during cornering acceleration and deceleration.
Do you mind to tell what car body make and model are you intended to do such swap?

Re: 3t sump
i am in the process of building a te27 rallycar, it has been converted to take an escort crossmember with a steering rack that bolts to the front of the crossmember,i want to run a 3tc engine to stay in my class, this is why i need a rear bowl sump, moroso make one but they will not export one out of the USA.

Easier for you to find a cross member for a te27 and adapt a starlet rack and pinion to it as you can get all those locally i guess, and keep the 3t sump stock!
Thats my honest opinion and i bet it will be less expensive that try to do it the other way!
