Id like to convert my nonturbo 6.5 to a turbo. What do i need to change in order to supply the turbo with oil and where does the oil return line go ..... ..I'm pretty sure I will need a new oil filter housing and oil pan with return line in it.

Any thoughts or anything else I should consider before starting this project?

Does your block have a block off plate at the top back by the tach drive? If not it would need to be machined to accept the turbo. The turbo mounts at the rear of the block on the top. Oil is supplied and returned where is mounts. No lines. The heads are different. Along with the air intake hose, intake and exhaust manifolds. The exhaust down pipe is different also. You will also need to convert to a serpintene belt set up. So you can use the higher volume water pump and bigger fan. To prevent overheating. Of course there are many odds and ends to remember. It would be much easier to find a complete turbo engine to swap.
