Re: 1971 GMC Donald
Installed an ICT valley cover, this is a Gen 4 motor that I had to delete the AFM crap from. New LS7 style lifters and a normal 3 bolt cam gear were also extra purchases that I didn't really plan on in the original "budget" either. This budget phenomenon apparently happens to most hot rodders...
I drilled a nice hole in the stock oil pan for a -10 oil drain line to facilitate the turbo oil drain. I ended up chickening out and buying ARP head bolts, but I did reuse the factory TTY rod bolts and just tightened them to 51ft lbs. I put an Ebay special adapter plate in place of the original that sits over the oil filter to eventually run my turbo oil feed line and an oil pressure sensor in.
