Question for the Vortech Crowd

11-28-2001, 01:04 PM

I have a Power-Dyne BD-11 on my truck right now, and I'm considering going to Power-Dyne's XB-1A gear driven unit.

The question is,.....where does the oil line hook in at? I thought I read on here that instead of taping the oil pan, that you could tap into the driver's side valve cover?!

If that is the case, where is the EXACT location to drill the hole?!

The problem with putting it in the valve cover is the return line is gravity fed.. I know for sure that with mustang kits, the return fitting on the head unit is too low to gravity feed to the valve cover, and I am pretty sure that the return fitting is too low on the vortech to be able to return to the valve cover. Hope this helps

The mounting position on the Lightning is waaaay different than on a Stang. Higher, too.
