Default ? on LS6 facing backwards. HELP!

So I have to run a 80mm or smaller TB in my class and I want to keep running the LS6 with an A2W in my passenger compartment. I would like some pics or links to threads discussing running the LS6 backwards. Doesn't the oil sending unit sensor get in the way? Do you have to cut a hole in the firewall where the "cold side" cold pipe feeds the TB?

Help! I really don't want to run a victor for several reasons. I know I have read about the LS6 backwards long ago but couldn't get search to come up with the threads!

Thanks guys.

The LS4 has the intake on backwards. Here is a little info. https://ls1tech.com/forums/ls4-front...ng-closer.html
You should be able relocate the oil sending unit to the side of the block.
