what would the be the best way for me to do this. i've seen some pics of how people have done this before, their lines look awful small compared to the stock oil return line. i'm afraid it may clog easily, whats your recommendation?

maybe tap something in there so you can put a flange on and use the stock line? i dunno ive never done the swap

o, i was under the impression you had. my bad



i am quite stumped about what to do.



can anyone else help me out?

 

I just drilled my SE front cover and tapped it for a 1/2 NPT fitting.Then went from there to make it work.Theres a dimple on the SE cover just below the OMP.

 

did the same here, 1/2npt.

 

I'm about to do the same thing with my front cover. Might have to make a trip to Enzed and see what fittings they have. The original return line is steel piping, is it any different to use braided hose instead?

 

Just make sure you get a big ID hose. I was told to use a 5/8" on mine and it's working out so far.

 

You can also remove the oil level sensor in the pan and make a block-off plate with a fitting for your oil return.

 

could one of you guys give me a pic of your setup so i can have something to go off of? that'd be peachy keen!!

 

I think dumping the oil back in to the engine above the oil level would be ideal. That way it woulden't have to "push" oil out of the way to drain into the pan.
