That looks like the latest banks kit, nice find! The sarcasm in me has to ask, does the engine bar over counter clockwise?
As for the oil feed, its just a generic braided line. Any line should work as long as its rated for oil and about 100psi
Also check, oil feed may come from the oil pressure sender area. You can see on top of the turbo bearing housing a line going back towards the firewall.

Also, did it come with a free wheel socket?
“Does the engine bar over counter-clockwise” there’s movement but it felt like the nut was simply unthreading

So tell us, how do you walk around with such large brass spheres all the time. Transmission attached, not on a smooth surface...

The impeller has seen impacts on the fins, shown here. Still spins without binding, unlike that other banks.

Unsure what this bundle is supposed to be doing, except for being an oil pressure area.

Someone put JB weld over this piece here. Any ideas what this is?

Cylinder hone marks. With a turbo compressor wheel with that much damage it ate a lot of dust.
a tear down is in the works, because even though this motor doesn’t have headstuds, it may have a turbo cam (but I doubt it).

Tear down pics to come so stay tuned
