That pan looks a little familliar http://www.turbols6.com/gallery/TYPHOON-LSX-TURBO/asl http://www.turbols6.com/gallery/TYPHOON-LSX-TURBO/anw

I made a very same pan!! It only holds 4.5 qts. of oil I decided to up grade the pan to six qts. with a remote filter and oil cooler, after I read this, https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-in...tarvation.html I might go bigger on the lines!!
Check into the hydroboost brakes, fairly cheap mod. will give you a lot more room for your coils ect!! Good luck with the build, I've had mine done a couple of times, keep changing my mind, and the WHILE I'M In HERE, bug keeps bitting me. It also put's a big dent in your budget!! LOL

Eviltwin, you're a bad man. I just found a Typhoon on craigslist. The wife will not be happy with me buying another project vehicle just before Xmas.
You're costing me money I could be spending on this swap, 'cause now I HAVE to get her something spectacular.
AH! well. At least the truck is only costing me 6 grand, with a fresh GM replacement short block in it. Hey, anybody know what the motor and trans in one of these is worth?

im going to relocated the battery and it will be in that area. kinda like the stock location but more towards the corner of the engine bay. then i will run the dp under the heaterbox and down between the frame and motor. I dont know how big of dp i will be able to fit but i want atleast a 3.5" but im not afraid to do some cutting and welding on the truck
