Hey everyone, I can't seem to find a new oil sump for a 1994 series 1 VR V6 auto anywhere. The only ones I get are for the V8 or literally every model after VS. If you could help me out by providing links to where I could get one (preferably new), that would be much appreciated. Cheers.

Trans pan or engine sump? Buick sump will be SH. Should be still plenty around if you go SH.

You will be lucky to find a new one. If none on EBay then probably need to go SH. There are stacks of SH early V6 around.

Literally just tyoe SH oil sump or is there more I need to put in? Is it a direct bolt in or do I need to move stuff?

You will either need to lift the motor or drop the subframe to remove the sump.

Go to a wrecker and find one on a buggard engine. Freight on an EBay sump will double it's price.

Yep as Mort said, raise engine you will need to drop k frame as well to give you enough room to comfortably get it back in. Rack need to be unbolted too as well as the pan that sits at the back of the engine in front of the trans.
