I finally got my oil pan turned around this weekend. Had to make a pickup tube extension because Detroit does not, and has never had a pickup tube for a rear sump 4-53 turbo.
I will try to get a transmission bolted to the engine Sunday so I can check dimensions and see how it may fit in my truck.

Still looking for the right 5 window 2 ton.......

There are more pictures in my album now, including all of the axle swapping I did a year or so ago.
