If I'm remembering correctly, it was around ten yrs ag0, I used the last(#5) main oil feed galley plug to take the reading from Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)

Only place I could get to it w/ my headers and stock front suspension. My block doesn't have lifter oil galleys...not sure if there'd be somewhere else to take pressure from if your block is drilled.

We have now added two oil pressure/feed locations to the top of the bellhousing area, just like the stock iron HEMI/440 blocks. These are fed from behind the #5 cam bearing via a groove cut in the block. We delayed doing this because it meant changing the pattern at the foundry and a slight program change for the CNC process. Those of you that have received blocks from us know that it takes awhile to receive your order...OK a lot more than "awhile", and we didn't want to make this even longer but we had a lot of requests for this feature so we made the change. Production is picking up and delivery times are getting shorter but we have a ways to go yet before we get to where we want to be....blocks on the shelf ready to ship. Thanks for your support Ken Black
