That bellhousing looks nice. If you will ever need to run a wire through the firewall now would be the time to do it lol.

Thoughts on making a dipstick from some AN fittings, piece of tubing from McMaster, and a universal dorman stick?

Banjo bolt adapter in place of the drain plug, to a 5/16 tubing adapter. Either stainless or aluminum tubing run up with the high pressure fuel line. Probably around $90 in parts and another $30 in shipping.

Why not make something that goes down the evacuation tube under the oil cap? Make it rigid enough that it won't just bend into the oil pan when it gets down there. Judging by the effectiveness of oil evacuation, I'd wager it ends pretty darn close to the bottom of the oil pan, so some trimmer line might be all you need.

I was under the impression that the suction tube has a very poor geometry towards the bottom.

It has arrived. Time to order just about every sensor I can. Last thing I want to do is have to remove the supercharger to replace something like the knock sensor. Also started pulling up torque specs and am surprised at some of them. Exhaust manifold, 18Nm. Torque converter, 63Nm.

It says do not use lol. Yes the suction tube gets squiggly near the bottom. Not sure trimmer line would work.

Yeah, long block doesn't include valve covers. Part of why I waited to order parts until it arrived.

Took some digging, but found the part number for the flex plate to crank bolts, LR096833. Any know what the torque converter bolts part number is?

Better hope the new sensors are good.

Are those coolant pipes one-piece and metal? Where did you get them?

Tapa engines in California supplies them with the reman engine.
