Most engine builders currently run the oil into the front of the engine on a S/B and V/6 Chevy. This has become an accepted practive but it is difficult to install the oil line because of the limited space in that area of the block. We have designed a special extended fitting to solve this problem.
The fittings position the end of the inlet oil hose to be approximately 3" from the block. One end has a 37-degree male end and the other end is male pipe thread. In order to make the fitting easy to install we have machined a 1" hex on the -10AN side of the fitting. The hex portion is .500" long and the rest of the fitting is turned down to 7/8" in diameter.
