Hey Guys,
for those wondering if/how..
I added a bung (for supercharger oil return line) to a recently purchased OEM oil pan, which will be going in soon. This replaces the sorta iffy connection the vortech V7 JT kit advocated. Thanks to site members who have helped me with their input on this one. This welding was done by a local shop in Mesa AZ named Jan's.
Also, I added a bung into the driver side SW long pipe exhaust header in order to thread in the wide band fuel sensor for the associated autometer gauge. This TIG weld was done by a young man who owns his own mobile welding business...only 20 something and doing a great job...so much for 100,000$ college degrees in liberal arts eh? His welding school bill was 18,000$. Pretty good investment I'd say.

The added bung on the exhaust (top of photo) is from the Autometer kit. I feel like it is a little short, as it doesn't protude away from the header itself very much, but perhaps this is for the benefit of proper sensor operation? Thoughts?
