Can i tap the oil pan where I have the red mark?If not where can I tape for a bottom mount t28 turbo?

I did search, however the other ones i found are for T3 or have cheaper line. I am using braided line so I want a straight shot.

In the other spots i need a weird bend and such, this would be a straight shot.however, does the depth of the plan play a bad role in drain?

Thanks,Tony

that spot will be ok. No problems at all.

Although some people are hell bent on telling you that the oil line has to be perfect, and yadda yadda.

As long as its as close to the top of the pan as possible you will be ok.

As long as it is higher than the oil level then you should be fine. you can test by filling it up w/ like 4 qrt of oil to see where the level would be and just make sure to do it above oil level. make sure if you are making your own oil lines that the return line is bigger than your feed line.
