Wouldn't you like to know? 
A light steel flywheel, 20B exhaust flange, a few U bends, RB oil pedestal stuff for a remote oil filter, and a straight pipe.
I spent part of the day messing with the oil pedestal stuff. I still haven't decided to drill through the temp hole of the temp and pressure adaptor. Drilling through it would join both oil holes and allow flow between them. I also got a filter blockoff. It's got little holes, so I figured I could help it out by drilling through the temp hole in the temp and pressure adapter. Here are the links so you can see what I'm talking about.

Yeah, RB doesn't make an FD or JC Cosmo remote filter pedestal adaptor. Note on the filter bypass block page, it says "This bypass block cannot be used with the Racing Beat Oil Pressure and Temperature block." Mine also didn't come with mounting hardware. At least the pressure and temp block came with two studs (M8 x 1.25) that are long enough to fit both blocks perfectly. Luckily, the 20B has threaded holes like all engines from '71 to '95 at the filter pedestal location.
So who here thinks I should drill a hole in the temp and pressure block to allow both oil holes to flow together? I know it would get over any shortcomings of the filter bypass block's little 3/8" holes and allow more oil to get over onto the bearing side, instead of mostly staying on the bypass side. It's weird, but my rotary sense is tingling about this. Heh, kinda like it was with the possible overtightening of the front cap nut a while ago.

Yeah, but I was worried about making it so this pressure and temperature block wouldn't be usable on any other engine (unless it's a Cosmo or FD end plate WITH a remote filter setup).
Blah, who cares? It's not like I was going to use an oil temperature guage anyway. I've got a 1/2 NPT barbed fitting that will fit perfectly in the temperature hole in the block. I like NPT stuff. A bit low-tech compared to -AN fittings, but they're easy to get and use. Can you say outragious? Betcha can.
