I would go into the pan, but the cover can be done. (hellbents10)TJ at Baker engineering can prolly get you a pic of the Silverado SS he did, that one is in the front cover.

Do you all just use rubber hose or braided? Obviously braided would be better but is rubber hose sufficient?

Yup, and if you can keep 90 degree hose ends / adaptors out of the equation... even better. For some apps it may be unavoidable but if you have the time and resources it can be done without 90's.

So Danny, what all are you going to end up using for your full Oil Feed/Drain setup? That's the last thing I need to buy before my turbo kit is done. Here is my list:

Feed:
5' -4an braided line
WJ Mark adapter(deletes oil cooler plate)
Turbo Oil feed adapter
1/8" to -4an adapter x2

Drain
5' -10an pushlock hose
Turbo Oil return adapter
90* pushlock bend(for turbo)
90* pushlock bend(for oil pan)

Let me know if you're doing something different or if I'm forgetting something. I'm ready to put my order in also.
