If you look in the archives of our engine swap forum, you will find the longest thread ever written on just this subject.
You find different answers, because there's more than one way of doing things! The only thing that is definite is that you must use a M50 E34 sump and oil pick up.
Before of info on sites aimed at LH drive cars. The problems (and possible solutions) are very different.
