Turbo conversion questions...

The stock TD pan has it pretty close to the top IIRC.  If it weren't so 
damned cold out I'd pop out and take a peek at one and let you know - 
maybe when it warms up (in JUNE! :) )

The oil filter flange will bolt up.  Many 8V flanges have a spot in the 
casting for the port - you'd just have to drill and tap to match whatever 
plumbing you're going to use.

Pistons should be interchangeable, AFAIK.
