    Gonna run without a hood till I get everything right and all the bugs worked out. Once it's right I'm gonna put a checkered racing front subframe which is wider and the engine crossmember is deeper than mine so it will sit the Duramax down far enough to get a stock flat hood on

    Oil pan is the same as the truck so it's rear sump. Didn't touch the oil pan. The steering on the Nova is at the rear but I'm putting rack up front. As far as the mount goes I just took measurements from the short one which is the same as the truck. Made it match.

    Another Duramax Nova

    Well dropping the lbz in the Nova. What's the stock turbo lacking. I know it's a vvt. Do the vanes go "bad" or stick.. What kind of power are they good for at 100% duty load

    I found this stuffed I a hold around the steering column Gotta do something with this cause don't wanna cut the oil pan and lose any more capacity than I have to. I know I'll just slice it and step it down then cut a pie piece out of it and pull the end back up to where it needs to be.

    Saved a bit of weight because it isn't an Allison. The box truck came with a 4l85.

    :mad::mad::mad: Ok I'm not sure who designed the air foil that blends the top of the van to the top of the box but I would love to shake his hand with a bat wrapped in razor wire to the face. Took 4 goes to get off
