External oiling question

inkjunkie said

Sorry for helping muck up your thread. But to answer your question....Years ago I had an a-body with a 440 in it. Motor was sitting on motor mounts and it had a single line external system on it. The k-frame was an old d/c one, I do not remember if had spool mounts on it or not. I do know it was pretty damn tight but it did fit. All the pictures I had of it are long gone.....

LOL. It's fine, honestly. I wasn't trying to be a dick. I do appreciate your feedback though! It is going to be tight, and it wont be the end of the world if I need to do some channeling on the K-member. I'd just rather not, if I don't have to!

Trust me, I've contemplated sticking with the stock 3/8" NPT pickup boss, or opening it up to 1/2" NPT. But decided after talking to a few builders, my machinist, and doing some research, that I'd give this a shot. I don't see it hurting.
