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

Ok, im out. the info for making it a remote setup has been in the mopar engine manuals since about 1973. It would be crazy to drill and tap a oil galley on a assembled engine. diagnosing a leak isnt very difficult. good luck to you sir.
I don't see a problem with it since the only hole you need to tap is the output coming from the pump. Grease your tap up good and most of the tappings will stick to it then when you remove it crank the engine over and the oil pump will flush the rest out.
