Vortech Oil lines location/install
Anyone that has done this before?
I'll be removing my oil pan to do the oil return line to it, but would love some pictures on the locations and routing.
I'll also be using a TEE in the intake manifold by the distributor for the oil feed line.. Pics of this one would help greatly too..
TY :cheers:

I thought that I might as well make use of the digital camera I bought. I have a lot more pictures on my computer. If you need pictures of anything else I could check on my computer and post them.

No sense in making a job out of it.
Get oil feed at oil temp sender. Leave oil pan alone(unless you're taking it off anyway)-just run a hardline with hose ends for drain from Vortech across front of motor at about 45degree to fuel pump block off plate. Goes under water pump just behind balancer. Just keep it all down hill and weld some brackets on it.

It was not difficult. One side of each lamp to a 12V wire after ignition. The other wire of each lamp goes to the ECM harness. One to "TCC" and the other to "4th gear".
