Oil Lines

[freebyrd24]

Hey everyone, just looking to see if anyone has pictures of how they ran oil lines, fittings, and specifically the oil return. Jess had mentioned a special plug threaded into the oil drain plug? Just curious to all this and looking for some ideas. Thanks!

Is the end on the right side the thread for the drain plug? or this is this the setup on your new motor. how does it connect back to the motor?

The nipple is what you see in the end of the oil return line above. Left female right male.

Ahh I see, so you're tapped right into the block. I'm definately going to do that when I take the motor out to put new pistons and rods in it, but I plan on running with the stock setup for a little while. Probably won't be too long, i'll get the itch for more HP

I ran the stinger performance drain line. Braided steel and I also drilled and tapped the block very much like Jess. Not hard at all and It worked very well.

i tapped into the oil pan above the oil line on the iside and im useing stainless steel braided hose for the return

Is there a certain size line needed? Does it matter how large or small?

IT may have been posted but I can't find it. Where do you tap into for the oil inlet? Was it the pressure sending unit? Where was it located and how do you tap into it? Also, how could you tap into it and run an electronic gauge? Thanks everyone
