Thanks guys. I've picked up most of my skills from reading,trial and error and forums like this one. Only thing stopping anyone from doing this is being overwhelmed with the big picture. Break the project you want to take on into sections and it's much more manageable.

Getting everything ready to install my oil cooler.
Started with cleaning the housing and taping for the 1/4npt pressure sender. I also turned down two -10 an fittings to weld onto the housing. Drilled the housing out so the fittings will slide in.

At the moment I could only find -8 fittings available. That and I have about 20 -10 in overstock haha.
Also I've found that -8 an doesn't provide enough volume for road racing applications. So we run a minimum of -10 on anything that will see track days.

My engine guy told me I was wasting my time because the port hole in the filter housing outlet was so small that it didn't matter. I figured the extra volume was a benefit anyway. Nice work.

The factory housing ports are almost exactly the same size as a -10 fitting. Anything bigger and I would say its a waste if you don't enlarge the ports.

If I can save you some grief, please install your oil pressure sender on the end of a flexible an line or just return your electric oil pressure sender from Autometer. I've had two sending units die out. The first one they covered under warranty but the second was past warranty and they are not cheap at $70+ for a replacement. They only last about a year in the OFH. I was told doing research that they need to be "isolated."
