I don't have any really good pictures of the oil pan. But I removed 2 5/8" out of the stock dodge pan and then added a piece about 10" long from an industrial pan and then added a 2'x12" addition on the right side for added capacity.

The oil system is stock type. I modified the oil pan and shortened the pick up tube. Now this oil pan can hold up to 16 quarts if you wanted to. I run it with 14qts.

I had the turbo already and had a custom exhaust manifold when the engine was in the truck. It wouldn't fit in the car and I saw the price on the adapters at the time and built my own and welded it on there. Plus the stock manifold is ported severly. It may look stock on the out side but I bet it weighs 3lbs less than a stock one.
