Any one interested in the oiling mods I did?

I drilled and tapped the oil ports for 1/2NPT (from 3/8NPT) in preparation for a remote filter and/or external oil pump. I moved the port that comes from the oil pump over a small amount....in case I ever want to use a block mounted filter, there is still room for the adapter to seal. It's close.

To plug the 'old' oil filter port, it's the same thread as an -8AN ORB plug...and there is already a nice looking chamfer for the o-ring to seal against....so I'm gonna try using that method.

While you have the block in the mill you should turn it over and slot
The bearing saddle oil feed holes.
