It is easy to make one

Pretty easy to make with a mitre saw and a drill press? 3/4" thick plate?

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

Where _a want the fittings/threads.

Near axle, yes, towards unibody frame rail, 1.25ish

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

all the passages and bolt holes are done.

only things left to do on it are to counterbore the recessed bolt holes larger (my sample bolt i grabbed has a smaller head than any other i can find...fuck)

i need to thread the face ports for the AN fittings, and i also need to drill and thread the passage for the oil pressure sender and the turbo feed...i may put the pressure sensor on the remote ford filter mount to keep it away from the heat.

the turbo feed i may put on the side but i like the way it would route if it put it on top facing forward... plus it would be about 12" long.

anyways onto the racecarparts pr0n



you can see the passage for the oil pressure relief valve

Anyone have ideas for oil filter adapter plates? Intense is out. I'm not sure what this will cost to ship here.

L27/L36/L67 ADJUSTABLE OIL PRESSURE & REMOTE OIL FILTER/COOLER PLATE

Sick of your lame oil pressure on your engine? Especially at high RPM/WOT Conditions? Want more oil pressure and thus more oil flow to your vital engine components in your race engine? Want a clean and effective way to run multiple sensors, a remote oil filter, and an oil cooler? Well look no...

Hey! I bought a very basic one from this company...was under $100usd. https://branikmotorsports.com/ - They mostly do off-road stuff, but they did build this for rock crawlers moving to a 3800. I never used it, but did sell to Robert Bates. I did see at one point he was parting out all of his 3800 perf. stuff including this. Not sure if he'd still have it.

It did not have the adjustable pressure port, just the 2 oil ports to run lines and the milled line between the holes on the engine side.

IIRC the oil port holes were only 1/4 NPT to had to enlarge them, but it is a good basic starting point if you want to modify it. Otherwise I think the Ausie one looks good!


Here is a pic I found of what it looked like.

Nice, I did send him a message to see if he still had anything, but haven't heard back from him.

Well, I'm impressed. I decided for $222, it wasn't worth the day of messing around trying to make my own. So, Saturday the 9th I ordered the oil filter plate from Australia, and today the 18th, I got it. I'm pretty impressed it took a little over a week to get it when Amazon prime orders are usually 6 days.

But it looks like a quality piece. Now to figure out where to mount the oil filter.

I wanna see the oil pressure setup it uses

I'll have to take a look. I'll post some pics.

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

Yeah I'm curious if it's a adj spring pushing on the oem piston/spring to adjust pressure from oem position spring max pressure and down (less psi)

 

[GTPpower]

It looks to me like you just use the oem spring and spacer and adjust from there.

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

So it only lowers from oem spring/spacer mod by holding the plunger away

 

[GTPpower]

What would I need to do to increase it?

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

04+ spring and at least 2-4 stacked 10-32 screw washers greased to hold em together and inside piston pocket.

That screw is located at piston face and to partially compress it to increase pressure doesn't seem right.

Put new taillights in today. Sold the old ones for $30 to some guy way out in western nebraska. Now to clean the rest of the crap off the car. The track opens on Saturday.

I just had the pleasure of throwing some different shoes on their square body fire truck this weekend. That things pretty sweet.

I may make it out there if I find time to change my oil and take care of some minor fueling tweaks but I don't know how hard I wanna push it and have to be doing it all over again just yet and I've got a bunch of stuff here I need to get gone too. Plus it never fails the weather sucks for the car show that day.

 

[GTPpower]

I probably won't be able to make it, but we'll see.

 

[sktchy]

I think the following weekend here and i29 are both open
