    I'll look for the article in ***boat mag. It's here somewhere by my desk. It gives actual dimensions where to drill the heads. I believe 3/8 NPT was the tap size. Timinator wrote the article. I've seen pics where someone did the valve covers at the back, with bulkhead fittings, I believe. As for fittings? I think you could use whatever you like that does the job. AN/ braided, pipe, rubber hose, SS hard line, etc.

    I'll have to look into that... any special fittings or just the std AN deals?
    anything will work. AN is always nice. (see superdave 013 for the deals) Just make sure its at the back of the head and in a position where the oil will actually flow through the fitting.

    do yourself a favor, buy some resticted push rods too, that will help slow the oils ascent to the top. The drains will make sure it gets back where it belongs.
