or the GSL-SE front cover if you would like to stick to the OMP instead of Premixing

Nothing, you just bolt up a GSL-SE front cover, oil pan, oil pick up tube. It's pretty straight forward. The engine than will just bolt up to the GSL-SE cross member (mounts to the front cover). Also you will need to use a water pump housing that clears the front cover.

Heres a picture of my setup before I put it together...

For the S4 TII,its basic and straightforward.

Drill and tap a hole under the OMP pad for the turbo oil drain.The SE already has a boss there to drill out,its pretty basic.Thread in a piece of pipe and use that to connect to the turbo oil drain with a piece of rubber hose.

Bolt on the SE front cover and SE oilpan/pick tube,install the S4 waterpump and housing......install engine and go!

Heres some grainy old pics,but you get the idea......

Yea chiqui you have it easy using a 87 engine, just use the SE front cover and omp, then drill and tap that hole right by the omp for the oil return and your golden, much easier than the S5 setup I had to deal with.... If you need help I'll probably be up at John's pretty soon....
