Duuuhhhh...I'm a dumb ***!! I didn't think about what intake you were running. I have a Victor Jr. so it's alot easier to do it with my set-up. I'll see if I can snap some pics manana for u though.

I had to position mine where it is at due to have a front diff to dodge too so you may be able to put yours elsewhere. From what I read on tech just make sure you return the oil above the oil level in the pan.


Its a -6 AN bung

See the shiny thing sticking out about half-way down the pan towards teh front? Thats the bung. You can probably position yours further back since you arent 4wd.

I hate to ask this question buuuut.....I don't know about you guys, but my oil pan is well...oily. So how the hell do you guys effectively weld an aluminum bung to an oily-*** oil pan? Aluminum is pretty pourus, so all the oil is well soaked into my pan, probably all the way through it. I don't think I could get my pan clean enough to weld if I tried. Did you guys use the dishwasher or something?

I used alot of non-chloro brake cleaner on mine and wiped it down real good. Then I put it in one of our curing ovens at work and that brought out a little more oily residue then I cleaned that up and took it to my welder. He cut the hole in the pan the size of the chamfered part of the -6 bung and welded it from the inside. The weld looks good to me.

Alirght, I'll try doing that. Unfortunatley we only have plastic ovens here and they get a little too hot for my liking when it comes to oil. I'll just use my oven at home.

Does anyone have any pics of an oil return on the driver's side, like for twins?
