I have been aquiring parts for months now; planing to build a twin turbo 79 square body. I ended up finding a 2500 LD in the meantime real cheap. So in short order i decided to use the TT on the 2500. The 5.3 in the truck was tired, had 180k, and still ran good, but felt low on power. It should be a perfect starting block for the square.

some parts goin in

2005 4.8 stock bottom end w/ 80k
ls2 Cylinder Heads
PAC 1211x Valve springs
ARP head bolts
Ligtenfelter HP/HV oil pump
LS7 lifters
CompCam Pushrods
LS9 Cam
LS9 Head gaskets
NGK TR6 Spark Plugs
FAST rails
Siemens DEKA 80lb EV1 Injectors
Aeromotive 13109 FPR w/ gauge
pair of walbro 255s
turbos are currently some cxracing chinese turbos. running a t3 flange and 2.5 exhaust pipes.

just a few days away.. need to run fuel, and finishing terminating it.. Need to setup front end of the truck, and the cold side, as well as finish exhaust from the downpipes.

Doing 100% of the work in my garage with a very hard working friend.

This one isnt meant to be pretty, its going to be a work truck, hauler, so i decided not to spend time/money on looks right now. Thats for the square

I think your turbo drains at the engine are too low. Looks good though.

on the front of the pan your saying?

I hadnt been worried about that as much as the little valley i left in the pass turbo drain..

Should i be?

Do u have an alternate location you could recommend i use?

The more that I look at them I realized I was mistaken. They are fine. Sorry about that. My bad. Build looks good.
