Default Just finnished up the hard part of the T72 install on the 4.3L

I finnaly got my issues worked out and got the oil lines ran. The exhaust side is done as well and the turbo is mounted. Nice clean install and hides right behind the bumper. The oil drain from the turbo also sits about 8-9" above the oil pan, so its all good, no need for a return pump.

I took it for a spin around the block a few times to see how it sounds and be sure the turbo is still in good shape. So far so good. No oil leaks and it sounds SSSSSSSWeet. I'll finnish fabbing the charge pipe tomorrow and get it on. Then its off to F1Dyno.

I am getting real good with welding. It spools nice. Starts around 2200-2300 and screams from 3500 up.
