[Supras] Regards to the turbo oil supply line

[Brandon]

Just build it, wouldn't be that hard to do,  If you really feel like you 
can't do it, I'll take a look at the spare stock motor we have on a stand 
right now and work up a quote.  Chances are the easiest way would be to pick 
up some -10 hose, two dash 10 hose ends, and a pair of fittings that 
are -10 --> 1/2 or 3/4 and cut the threaded side off and weld them on to the 
stock tubing so you retain the stock flanges.  I know the block side is 
close to a what more center sections take for a drain, so the other option 
there is to possibly elongate the holes in that to make it work.  Final 
option would be to just tap the block to take a 1/2 NPT thread pitch and 
just screw an 1/2 --> -10 AN adapter into it, but w/ the motor in the car, 
and an oil pan on it, this wouldn't be my course of action.
