Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread

I just catch up to everyone else on the freeway and then set my cruise control. And hope eveyone else isn't speeding. I didn't get around to it yet, but i'm probably just going to use one of those Abbot X-box converters that Shon sells for. He's using one and says it works good. Yours "done" yet.

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread

Great build! allot of useful information you got here. I have a question, maybe you or some one following the build can help me out.

Is it possible to remove either one of these plugs (pointed out by the red arrows) for an oil pressure sending unit? the 6.0L im working with has an external oil cooler that i would like to keep, thats why the pictured setup would not work for me. unless i tap in to one of the lines but im thinking that if i tap the return line i might not get the most accurate PSI reading.

Im not completely sure, but I think those are coolant plugs There is a oil pressure port on top of the block, behind the intake.

I'm not sure where it goes yet, but they are talking about a oil press adapter for the back of the block here.
