The best way to do it is to drill and tap the oil return line in the block for a NPT fitting. Then you can screw fittings directly into the block and run your AN lines to the filter. The oil filter adapters tend to leak over time. Sounds like your engine is already together and running so it is probably too late to tap the hole.


It is already all together and been thru "test and tune" on the dyno. Darn, thought I was going to use the factory oil cooler but then started thinking about relocating the filter, and mechanic mentioned some bigger lines to flow more oil would probably be smart for this much engine. I was hoping if I went with all braided lines and AN fittings I wouldn't have any leak issues for a long time. This is probably going to be the last thing I workout before install. Thank You.
