Are the sumps on a 4age Blacktop and a silvertop the same?

As title.

I would like a spare sump for my 20V Blacktop 4age. I want to shorten and wing it as a winter project.

If the silvertop are the same it greatly increases the chances of finding one.

If you have a Blacktop 20V sump for sale. U2U me. I have monies!!

further to the above Q & obviously relevant to availability does the 16v sump fit the 20v or are they completely different (think they are the same block, but may be showing my ignorance here)

Cheers for making my Q a bit clearer Russ.

I always thought they were the sme block but different internals and head. Hopefully we are right.

16v and 20v are different as I got hold of a raw alloy sump from someone that converted to a 20v

^^^^What he said, Raw shortened and winged my 20v blacktop sump.

Anyone know what's different, as if bolt pattern is the same it still might be poss to mod the 16v sump (as it's pressed steel & therefore readily weldable) rather than mod a 20V (which is alloy?? I think?)

I think a call to raw is require. I'll also put up a cost inn some other forums I frequent to see if they know
