You have a very nice setup going there sir! My goal is to have a turbo and a/c in the factory location and have the oil drain in the front cover as well. Just got the a/c compressor installed the rest is going to inquire some 🤔 but shouldn't be too bad. I'll be following your build man...

Them trunnion upgrades are a must!!! I used the Straub kit on mine, essentially the same thing. However, I used the BTR .660 springs and pushrods since BTR is local to me and they have nice stuff!!!
I haven't pulled the trigger on springs yet. Either PAC 1218 or the BTR. All depends on which camshaft I go with...
Bought myself some HF stuff:
I plan on modifying the welder to DC output to get some better welds out of it (hotter welds, less slag spraying). Shouldn't cost more than $50 to add to the needed components.
Seeming how my townhouse rental only has 110V, 20 amp power in the garage, my options were kind of limited and will be fun to practice learning a new skill.

BTR Stage 1 turbo camshaft:
Also picked up some LS1/LS6 head gaskets

Very nice! The specs on the cam are darn near identical to the stage 1 boost cam I got from Tick Performance which came direct from Cam Motion....
Picked up another set of truck injectors, decapped them, will send 16 off for flow testing/cleaning:
Good things and bad things happened last night:
Lubed up the (cam) shaft for insertion:
Got the timing marks lined up (after everything was torqued, spun the motor over once to check marks):
Buttoned up the front:
BUT I broke the pan with the incorrect bolt sequence...should have done the two pan bolts first: 😢
It's a truck pan, so its cheap enough to find another.
Also, the oil feed return will be tricky as someone mentioned, about 1" of clearance, will need to get some different fittings:
