Got the car running and driving
I haven't posted up much progress pics or questions b/c I know how to use the search button, but I finally got the car running and driving. Car is a 00 SS with a single 67gtq off truck mani's. Motor is stock shortblock with arp rod bolts and head studs, 317 heads, and a 223/231 610/617 on a 113lsa cam.

So far in 2k miles, I destroyed a driveshaft, bent torque arm and snapped the stock 10 bolt. All those on just 5 psi, it keeps breaking the weakest link one by one.
Has a 12 bolt in it now. Went 11.41 at 128.6 mph, 102 in 1/8 mile. All on the 17s running bald nittos and on pump gas and to top it off the clutch was out the next day. Spun all the way thru first and second and got a 1.97 60 foot.
Time for a turbo 400 swap.
Car put down 559 rwhp and 723 rwtq on 10 psi.

Can you get a little better pic of the oil drain? It would only take an hr at most to get some new line, clock the turbo a bit more and make a longer line if it will fix the issue.
Those are some crazy tq numbers.
