We made this setup with parts lying around the shop. That is an old school small block oil pump that we used. We tapped the suction (pickup tube) with a pipe fitting (3/8). We also tapped the pressure side with a pipe fitting (3/8). We then used a bolt with the same thread as the oil pan, drilled it through and welded a fitting to it. The fitting going in to the block is a factory plug that has been drilled and tapped with a fiffing srewed into it.
