Relocation of Oil Pressure sending unit? Hey guys,
I am almost done with my 402 but ran into a problem with the nitrous fitting coming out of the back of my intake hitting my oil pressure sending unit. Rather than sending the intake back to get re-plumbed, is there any place I can just relocate the sensor in the block? I know with normal SBCs you can, but not sure about the LS2. Thanks.

In the aluminum block above the oil filter.
There is a port there. It just needs to be drilled n tapped.
It Bolts to the block and can be removed to do this.

Thanks guys,
Thanks squintz, I wish I would have know that earlier.
I actually bought a 5/8 90* brass fitting and had to cut the valley cover down where the pressure sending unit goes. I attempted to weld the fitting to the intake but it is not very strong cause welding brass to alum doesn't work to well. LOL I then covered it in JB weld so it should be strong enough to hold.
Thanks for your input guys, one more hurdle covered. I should be able so start the car tomorrow. I can't wait to hear how the new combo sounds.
