here is the stock modded oil pan
the goal for the truck is to drive to the track, run 10's on street tires, and drive home. Dont think i will hit it with a stock convertor but a new one will be put in around summer time.

i will. i just got the turbo in the mail today so i still have stuff to do. have to finish the downpipe, turbo to intercooler, hook up oil lines, some vac lines, and hopefully get it tuned by the end of the week or next week. it will be tuned on an AWD dyno.

Build looks good, in for updates, I'm currently piecing together a lq4/tc78/Auto build as well. Should be able to start work on it in a few weeks. Hope you have good results.

Thing's you never want to hear the woman in your life say...
You are a fabricatin' fool! The build is awesome. Don't you have another thread about it?(nevermind I just saw the link) I was thinking you were waiting on parts or something a week or so ago.

Yeah..that sucked. Wouldn't have taken so long, but Turbonetics was closed from 12/14 through 1/5.....so their came the big delay. Glad to see you have it running....looks awesome.
