My 6g74 tt build

Going through my stuff. Working on labeling these so I can make replacements if possible. I'm looking at the parts manual, but it's hard to tell what's what. Only thing I know is the 2 return lines, but don't know which is for front and which is for back. I plan to do braided lines with AN fittings and not use these. I might have to color code them because if I can't tell these apart, will be real fun figuring the braided lines out.

Also, here's my powderdoated gm maf housing :)

Wonder if I should try to get the gm maf working before or after the conversion?

1 & 2 are the oil feeds

7 & 8 are the drains

3, 4, 5 & 6 are the water feeds/returns for the turbos. not sure which is which but they basically fit together like a jigsaw puzzle with the TT waterneck. I'm not even sure if it matters which one feeds or returns - when I did my TT conversion I just ran them to where they looked best.

Also, powder coated GM MAF looks awesome.

I had to over-complicate things, lol. So much for my budget... I can't believe I just dropped over $200 on just oil return lines/fittings/flanges. Only good thing is with this setup, I don't need to worry about my front motor mount. Also, won't require any welding on the oilpan at all, but I probably still will have the bolts welded inside of the pan just for peace of mind.

Chris is building the oil return lines for me. Should have those in a week or so. I'll add pics later.

And these are on the way

TT oil filter housing is on the way along with some other misc stuff.

Also, I'm going the chrome route, so this really is no longer a minimal budget build, lol.

Now just need Precats (precat deletes preferably) and resistors for injectors (unless I find some high impedance 360's or 450's) oh and a week of free time.

where'd you get these/what are they called?

good luck getting an o-ring to seal against the pan...

Oil pan return fittings, got them on ebay

Why don't you think it will seal? Any type of washer I can use on the inside to help seal? Was probably going to weld the nut in place on the inside so it can be re-tightened from the outside if needed.

I figured it would be easier to seal 1 hole in the pan instead of 3.

I have a brand new IPS pan, brand new gaskets, and brand new oil pan bolts. Still leaks a little. I cannot imagine a rubber o-ring sealing to the surface of the pan any better than a new clean gasket.

Get the weld on bungs for the pan, you will not regret it.

oh and that threaded section looks like a restriction. look how much of the internal diameter is lost.

That sucks having leaks even with a new pan and all. I'm sure something will leak for me too. I hear a lot of stories of leaks. This is one reason I'm trying different things. Also, some "right stuff" might help prevent leaks.

Updated my 1st page. Almost forgot about the oil cooler, lol.

I don't understand if you are going to weld the nut to the pan why you don't just weld the bung to the pan and be done with it?
