Thats exactly what I need. Could you take a quick shot from below looking up at the return line? =)

Also, where did you buy the hardware/hose from? If you could maybe scan your reciept or let me know exactly what fittings/hoses that would be awesome.

The return line is the only thing that scares me out of the entire turbo project.

Actually I cant, the car isnt here....because its not mine There are pics of how we did it somewhere around here (we got the idea off LS1tech) I think it was under procharger return line. Something like that. Basicly we just drilled and tapped the front of the pan, and put a fitting in there. Im sure I can get some better pics of whatever you need this weekend as were gonna be taking it all apart. PM me if you need anything.

I dont have any close ups, there is 1 picture in my photobucket gallery (link in sig) that almost shows it, but the DP blocks most of it. Yeah stock balancer for now. On the cover there is a few raised areas for clearance around the oil pump bolts. I used those as a reference. Plenty of room, and a nice gravity drain. My car is 1500 miles away right now, so no current pics

Are you guys putting the valve springs on there, so we can see what she will do ??? I have been wondering how the project was coming.

id also love to see a pic or two of that setup. sounds much easier than dropping the kmember and oil pan to drill/tap for a drain

It is blocked where it goes in the timing cover, but you can get the idea.
