So far I think I'm doing ok. I haven't ran into any major problems. These aren't final, just fitting it up. http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...c/IMG_0465.jpg

Looks like you're off to a good start. Mock-up is fun!
Good luck i'll be doing my second sts install all day on sunday (with my bro on his truck)! Looks like you got the "updated" pipe where it goes into the engine bay, looks nice, it gets real fun jacking the body up to squeeze that pipe in there!
home made kit??
YUP Homemade. Piceing it together I've spent under $1500. It SHOULD be up and running whenever I can find the time to put the oil lines on.

Just bought what I needed off Ebay,Summit,JCWhitney And got the welding done at a local shop. Got the oil line and fittings in today. I'll start putting those on tonight. :lol:Quote:

looking good man!
looks good for self fabbed--good job.. hope it all works out for you!
I'll let ya'll know how it turns out. But this braided oil line wityh the compression fittings are a bitch :tantrum:
what turbo you gonna run? what about a return oil pump? looks good so far!
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Turborado @ Apr 29 2006, 02:21 PM) [snapback]51638[/snapback]</div>Turbo is a T-61 with a .84 A/R exhaust I know it's not that big, but it should spool up fairly quick on a 4.8, the oil pump is a shur-flo sumthin or other, but I've seen them used on homemade setups before. Just looked around on Ebay for stuff that would work.Quote:

:thumb: Looking good! Can't wait to see how it's gonna run.
that looks good man. question.. in that second to last picture, is that piping supposed to sit that low? or are you going to tuck it up under the truck?
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(duckysbht @ Apr 30 2006, 02:29 PM) [snapback]51679[/snapback]</div>I'm gonna try to tuck it, but it's just sitting that low cause I haven't secured it to the frame yet. I've got quite a bit of ground clearance so I'm not too worried about it. It'll sit a lil higher once I get out of the "mock up" stage.Quote:

Not worried. the front is still stock height with pretty tight suspension. New info. Ordered two parts that won't fit the oil line that I bought. Gotta return them and wait for the right ones to get here. Another week of Waiting. I hate that there aren't any speed shops up here :tantrum: :grr: :whack: :cry: I must move back to Houston
man i wish i could put together a home made system. damn!! i think i can uderstand the piping but as far as the electrical stuff not a clue!! :duh:
It's really not too electrically involved. just a connection to the fuel pump power wire for the oil pump. And the gauges are mechanical for now. then getting a good tune...(Allen)
hey you said you had $1500 wraped up in it what parts did you end up having to get i am verry interested let me know
