Simple enough question........... can you put a driver side dipstick oil pan on a passenger side (zz4) dipstick block? will it bolt up without any leaks and work perfect? thanks.

I doubt it. There is a bump out on the lip of the oil pan to allow the dipstick tube to go through the block and into the pan. My pass fill pan will not work on a driver side pan block. I would think that would follow suit with vice-versa.
