Default Re: Remote oil filter fitting re size

I am actually not going to drill the block out for 3/8 I will drill the 1/4 fittings a little bit, the outlet in the oil pump is very small and this engine was made with a remote filter and oil cooler, it’s going to have way less pipelines than factory.

That's a very good plan especially seeing your oil pump which is actually designed different as far as the outlet is concerned compared to the Ford US pumps.
