Gen 2 block....Hey Steve. Is that a gen 2 or gen 3 block?
Damn. I knew the gen 3 block had similar issues that @steveespo has mentioned but thought it would be perfect on gen 2. Looks like you have some extra work to do and open up the port on the adapter unfortunatelyGen 2 block....
My concern with this and all the aftermarket blocks was they all run AN10 ports couple with AN10 to AN12 fittings. While that may not be a concern to most, and I'm sure many are running them with no issues, I was tried to address every possible concern since I lost a motor to bad oiling and was unwilling to downsize.Dont forget the Moroso oil sandwich kit as well.

These are pretty slick if they are indeed the same diameter as the holes on the housing! I was unaware these were even a thing.I also considered this but would need somewhere to tap for the pressureOil Cooler Adapter Fitting Kit

Yea I email Capaldi to see where they get oil pressure from but no reply yet.These are pretty slick if they are indeed the same diameter as the holes on the housing! I was unaware these were even a thing.
I'd also be curious if the diameter is the same throughout the fitting. The ORB side looks small, but it could be camera trickery. Again, I'm hyper-paranoid because I don't want to swap another engine on jackstands hahaYea I email Capaldi to see where they get oil pressure from but no reply yet.
I'd love if they had a version that was 12AN on both sides and not a 10 to 12. The main site shows it is a 10AN but I've seen these be wrong before:What I do remember was the unit came setup for 12AN fittings without adapters. The difference in fittings was worth 15psi and the fittings size was impresssive next to the MMr unit I had before. Now. checking my orders, I bought the Ford unit and the Moroso one.. But will have to get to the car to check which one we actually installed. Getting old!
Ok, went through my emails and got the part number. I do have the Moroso unit installed. Its this one.I'd love if they had a version that was 12AN on both sides and not a 10 to 12. The main site shows it is a 10AN but I've seen these be wrong before:

If they have a 12AN though that would sure make my life easier!
