It was fun AND functional. You can't beat that, eh? Thanks to RedBaron86325 for getting such a cool Christmas present!

It is an oil distribution block for my motor swap. It allows for the use of aftermarket senders (pressure and/or temp) while maintaining placement of the stock sender.

Looks good but are you guys sure you left enough room for the VDO sender? Once it's installed it looks like it'll be right against the block.

This particular one is going on the M52 motor for my motor swap, so clearance really isn't an issue. You are correct about clearance on an M20 block though. We actually checked it out on a spare block and discovered that the same design would work (even with the large VDO sender) if the threads were changed for the M20 sender and block.

looks like you've got the lathe up and running :) my adapter for my gauges leaks a bit of oil :( no matter. Damn that looks pretty though

talked to my dad again and he said check the clearance on the crank sensor for your motor, if it's too far away, nothing will fire

I have some extra aluminum if you want to mill one for yourself. Some pretty minor modifications to Jason's template will net you basically the same thing for the M20 with plenty of clearance. I also have some aluminum sheet if you want to update your cold air intake.

I am looking for one of these for my m20 motor. I have not been able to find a commercially made product. Any thoughts?

I also need to do this, but on an M42. Any ideas?
