I don't know if its ever been posted but I honestly can't remember. I've had a few people tell me to simply use the rear mount turbo setup off a newer van, I have always considered it, sometimes you can get a wicked deal on the top end as you'll need the heads, intake, turbo and manifolds, etc and I've never really seen one up close, that is until yesterday.

Doing an engine on a 99 and go to take the turbo off, what? no oil feed line??????? after removing it, GM actual did something cool, the block has 2 passages, feed and return, pretty smart, :thumbsup: So yeah, unless you use the whole engine, that setup won't work.

Also, it looks like there is enough room to use that setup in an older Gvan if you really want a factory setup.
