Are there any alternate oil feed ports on the RB25 block i could run my line to?

My beautiful lovefab manifold hits damn near everything... had to remove 9 of the 12 studs and convert to stubby bolts... it also hits the earl's fitting that comes out of the oiling port...

I noticed a plugged port right under the coolant feed on the block, does anyone know if that is an oil supply port?

I'm pretty sure that's the block coolant drain. You can run the same type of oil feed the KA-T guys use.zerothread?id=312476

The plugged port towards the rear of the block is the coolant drain fitting for the block. I wouldn't try to get oil from there

You'll probably have to run 90 adapter fittings right off the block to keep the fittings shallow with respect to the manifold.

awww weak

5/16 NPT fits the rb block, and threads all the way in without cross threading. You gotta use teflon tape... I picked up an 5/16 to 1/4 flare elbow last night, should i run that or would you not advise running NPT.

Still didn't get around to messing with the starter, took damn near forever to tack my downpipe up, like 12 ring welds on all the pie cuts.. it will look great when finished.

There is a thread that lists all the block fitting sizes. Read from the end to the beginning because some knuckleheads posted misinformation.

+1, exactly what I had to do.
