remote oil filter fittings tapped right into the block UPDATE in post 58 and the whole idea got 86ed

I wouldnt attempt to drill and tap those holes on a compleated engine. Getting the plate to seal isnt hard though in my experience.

feel free to drop by and show me how its done
I tried it several times with a stock plate, two different canton plates, the 90 degree adapter and probably about a dozen sets of gaskets
