The price of the adapter is $79.95. You can order through Katech since UMI is not a supporting vendor. As of right now it's a special order item. Mark can advise if they are ready to ship or not.

Thomson Automotive in Redford, Michigan has some really nice cnc'd AN style fittings. They have -12 and -16 available. They bolt into the stock oil pan and use stock style seals. You can use two 12's or one 16 and one 12. I am trying to get some pictures posted as soon as possible. You can contact Thomson Automotive at 313-538-0044

Wardrum, my Petersen oil tank came with two filters mounted on the top of the tank in the locations that I specified. For my LS-7 application, I had more width but limited height (61 Corvette) so I used their 16" X 9" tank which is 3 gallons. They told me that an external oil cooler is most likely not needed unless I am doing hard track time. They are great to deal with and very helpful.

61LS7 - I looked at that 3 gallon tank but I cannot find room for it anywhere in the engine compartment of my '57. Maybe I should mount it on top of the hood and tell everyone it is a new "swirl" type turbo just for the LS7.
