"Turbo is also super low near the oil pan. Look out for possible improper oil drain back issues."

The drain hose is very short (maybe 4" long) and
goes into the side of the timing cover below the
radiator hose/ timing cover water inlet.

Whe HO produced the parts it looks like they made
many passes over the void in the cover so that they had a place for the fitting to mount in the
normally thin area there.

Today with the CNC covers, like the one you have, you would just put a boss there for the drain inlet. HO tried to make their kit so that you did not have to remove the engine from the vehicle to weld a fitting in the pan. I would just run a hose
to a fitting on the pan today because if you build a EFI boosted engine you are going to have the engine out anyway.
