Constantly thinking
I love these kinda projects!
Great job so far! Have you done any mods to the engine besides a turbo? head studs?

Cool build...what's your thoughts on the color? Or does that depend on the final outcome?

The turbo oil feed is teed of the pressure sending unit, with steel hard line to the custom pedistal, from there it drains down a 5/8" tube to the top of the oil pan- sorry, i dont have any pictures at this point

I wish, that was the original thought too- as things go together there is almost no room for anything and i still have to fight to get my hands in some places (mostly air suspension related)

It will be a pale yellow- that has been the plan from the very begining and i cant picture it any other way

Im in love, do want a project like that of my own now.
Better not let Jay Leno find out about this!
Awsome man. You got the shop, and skills for this, that's for sure. I wish I had that kind of space. I think you're going to get the credit for building the first real IDI Roadster, and who would have thought it would be in the form of a truck that large.

The part that the turbo bolts to is 3/8" thick flat bar- drilled for bolt holes, a oil feed fitting welded underneath and a 5/8" tube for oil drain that is plumbed down to the oil pan that has a tube welded to it as well. From there its a matter of building a pedistal to fit your application.
