I have heard of two or three people using this set up and they really like it. Really fast spool up, and can handle a bit of power. I'm not positive if they were running it on a 1st Gen though...

Man dont I feel like a 
,lol I forgot all about that extra pipe plug in the filter housing.
,lol I forgot all about that extra pipe plug in the filter housing.I got lucky on the oil feed line. I was able to take everything with the turbo, oil line and fittings. The fitting from the 855 screwed right into the filter housing on the 5.9. You need a fitting that is 1/8" NPT male to whatever line you use. Make sure you use 3/8" line to feed it. Most people just get a hydraulic hose made.
On the drains, as long as both lines go downhill all the way to the nipple in the block, it should work fine. If it is too low, you will have to add a drain to the oil pan, above the normal oil level.

RIP, at Source Automotive has sold the kits for this set up for yrs.
I've driven two with HX-35/S400 and they work as well as my BD twins. Run just as cool also...up to 600 hp and 65 psi boost.

I run the HX35/40 hybrid over an HT3B . . .
It has an HX40 inlet so if you plan on running an HX35, you'll need a simple adaptor.
With some Scheid 6x.06 EDM and a maxed 12mm VE, yesterdays 8.23 1/8th mile pass had the EGT's no higher than 1500*F @ 55psig boost (with a ported head, cam, big IC, etc).

That's good to know, seem to be what I'm looking for. Plus I have an S400 and a 60mm HX35, so this winter I think I'll start the piping. Thanks for the pointing me toward Source, I'll give them a call for info.
