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

I doubt the block is cracked in that area, cuz it did not leak for 1000 miles and in that area the block is very thick. I have seen many cracked blocks, never there. the hole U need to tap is the pressurized oil out from the pump, it is about 1/2" diameter, assuming the fitting U are going to put in there is 3/8" npt-use a 3/8" npt tap-if that is correct for a 1/2" hole. I have seen this done years ago in a magazine, it may be tough finding a fitting for the 3/4 sae thread going in
