Do a search, its been beat to death... Put a -10a/n fitting in the front of the oil pan for the drain and drill/tap the feed block right above the oil filter for a -4a/n fitting for your feed.

For the return you need to tap the front cover or the oil pan, yes.

For the feed, I have this for sale if you want to keep yours original

there you go for your feed, would prob be cheaper to buy that than the cost of 1/8npt tap and bit. Good luck on the 1/2npt stuff for the pan, the only local place I could find that big of a tap and corresponding drill bit was at NAPA and they broke it off in me for like $60 bucks. Be especially careful to look up the right size drill bit for the 1/2npt tap as that is crucial. Mine is at home or I would go look at the size for you.

I bought a set of 1/2npt, 3/8npt, and 1/4npt off ebay for like $35 i think.

1/2npt drill bit needs to be 11/16", I used a step bit for mine

And for the return you can tap the pass side of the pan as well, just above the oil level sensor...
