Would it be possible to add an oil filter return line by tapping into one of the oil pressure sender port(s) on the back of an lb block and more importantly could I run the return line to the fuel pump mount base by adding a return line taped into the oil fill tube or fuel pump, neatly across the back of the engine instead of a return line to the oil pan? Thinking firewall mounted modern spin on type oil filter. Any thoughts has this been tried already? I am assuming that the residual oil pressure through the filter remains pressurized sufficiently to return to the engine there?? Would a restrion orifice in line be required?? Any thoughts are humbly requested. Of Course oil capacity would be adjusted to compensate for oil now contained in the filter Just trying to be neat on my stock 36 4 door. Again 221 LB.
