I've had mine to the oil pan for about a year and works great.

Why not? There TONS of people/shops on tech that run the return to the oil pan, inlcuding Allen Nelson who sells a ****-ton of those kits.

Because when Rick takes a stand on something, it is the only right way . There is nothing wrong with returning the oil to the pan.

OK... sounds like ill be returning it to the Oil Pan... I hate haveing to unhook the quick Disconnect just to put oil in.. and returning it to the Oil Pan would keep me from answering another freakin question..

Every body ask a thousand questions when they see it....
I just feel like giving them STS website and telling them to go read it..



Anybody got some pictures of where on the oil pan they returned it too??
I think ill drill and tap the pan, it would be easier and quicker. and seal it up with JBweld or Epoxy??

Any thoughts?

I would just weld a bolt to it and use an an fitting. It would look much better that way.

Why don't you route it back into the valley cover?

If we change it at all, we go to the oil pan. Seems like the best way to me; not having to pump up hill, no mess, no quick dissconnect to worry about, easier on the pump, etc...

You got a picture of yours?? Just wondering..

IF i did that i would have to pull the intake manifold off... and its not exaclty a clean engine we are talkin about here...

And i think the oil pan would be the easiest and less work.. ??
Im goin to do everthing in SS lines...

Now that everything is working right.. ill start tinkering with it and stuff.
