Turbo oil drain
« on: November 01, 2022, 02:59:25 PM »
I am curious if anyone knows of where is a good place to weld in a bung on the passenger side of the oil pan without it getting in the way.  Just trying to save time of dropping in motor to measure and pull right back out.

I'm using the oil level sensor threaded hole towards the back of the Fbody pan. Depends on how your manifolds are ran and where your turbo is located, but I've had no issues and no welding required.

Thank you, I should have mentioned its an aftermarket summit oil pan and doesnt have a sensor hole.  Ill look at my old pan and compare locations.

What pan are you using? If you're using an FC (guessing by your user name), I wasn't aware of a Holley pan that didn't sit lower than Fbody pan. Fbody sits about flush with the bottom of the subframe. They're also like $80 new on ebay. You still should probably get a Improved Racing baffle, though.
