6.2 LT1 oil pressure port I am doing an LT1 swap and I need to locate the oil pressure ports. I know that there is one port on the front driver-side of the block above the recess in the casting. Inside that recess is another plug. Are both of those oil ports? The reason I ask is because the motor mount adapters I have block access to the upper plug.
Thanks in advance.

I have since verified that the lower port is just a return. I will have to mod the bypass cover for the oil cooler port to create a pressure port.
Thanks for chiming in.

Yes, I used the Dirty Dingo bypass cover with a built-in port. You can by the GM one and mod it, but the DD piece has a boss for the port, which is less likely to leak.
There is no factory temp ports that are no used, the DD acc drive has a secondary port for a temp gauge, which is what I used. Otherwise, you will need to use a radiator or radiator hose adapter port.
