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

diymirage said
do you remember if that hole is the right size to tap it 3/8 NPT ?
because I think I can sneak a tap up there, but I doubt I can get a drill in there

No, it's not the right size, you have to drill the block. I recommend doing it in small steps. I used these.
