It has a giubo, so I'm guessing a BMW part?

Definitely BMW.

Yep its a BMW GS7D36SG Dual Clutch trans. I ordered the billet LTx conversion plate today.

So i haven't posted recently, but there has been some progress. I got the engine and transmission pulled from the truck. Also got the whole front end of the truck removed and stored for now.
This week i made a small transmission crossmember for the DCT. There is a plate that bolts to the trans, and then i use Heim joints with studs mounted through a rubber bushing to attach to the crossmember. The crossmember is very light, but should do the trick.

I also bought a Dry sump pump so that I can get the spare engine ready for mockup. Its important for the mockup that all of the big accessories are in place. That way I can get the engine position and clearances just right.
The pump is a Frank Weiss Racing Components 5 Stage Helix Rotor pump. Its a nice billet piece. The pump came with nice stainess tubing and BMR lines. Unfortunately its cheap to get rid of that stuff and go straight to AN hoses than it is to buy the needed Wiggins clamps and fittings to wrap it up as it sits.

Dry sumps are expensive lol. Ill have 3x as much in fittings, scavenge filters and hoses than I do into the actual pump.

Last thing i did was pull the rear out of the truck and modified the panhard bar and coilover mount to be in double shear. The single shear design was strong enough according to my calcs, but this is a just extra heavy duty.

Got a good bit of work done this weekend.

1. Tore down, cleaned and polish out the dry sump. Just making sure any scuffs on the rotors werent fretting
2. Mockup 3D printed dry sump mount
3. Got my up and foward LTx headers in and full purge welding in the 8 EGT bungs. This was my first time welding stainless, learned i need to speed up!
4. Got all of the cab mounts cut out, welded up and mounted on the chassis. I made some nice little measurement gauges on the 3D printer to help locate them. Worked out great.

Water cooled

Got dual 50mm VS Racing Wastegates as well

DomiWorks Engineer Adapter for the transmission showed up. What a sick piece. Super nice.

I also purchased a Holley Hi Ram with the PFI port provisions.

Last week i stripped the cab, and mounted it onto the chassis with some homemade 70A urethane bushing. They are sleeved with 1"x .1875" steel tubing to keep the cab from shearing off in the event of a roll over or T-Bone.

Next up... engine mounting and turbo hot side piping.
