oil adapter So now that the oil cooler was removed from the motor, what part do I need for the oil filter to screw onto? I tried a Mr. Gasket oil adapter, that results in 5 qts. of oil in your driveway.
This is the last part we need for this car. This is the Formula where I am putting the LT1 in from a Impala.

That might work if it was a fbody LT1, but the cooler was different on this b body motor.
By the way, I thought I ordered a regular old SBC adapter. Well we looked at the packaging and its for pre-65 GM small and big blocks.

Since we are talking about oil fittings and such, i have a question about oil pumps, how often do those nylon bushings go out? i have no oil coming through my pushrods from the lifters, yet im at 5 quarts, car reads 42 psi on start-up, but still no oil in the valvetrain, so now i have bad lifters... anyone with oil pump experience help?

Is this going to work? It still looks strange to me though. A few parts websites list this as working for a LT1 though.

that looks exactly like what i bought but it was a lot cheaper. i should have been more specific when i said regular old SBC by saying 86 and up hydraulic roller. i had to steal one off an 86 305 for a month before i ordered one.

OK so you used one like in my link? Does it accept the regular size filters, like PL20049? The Impala oil cooler used a smaller filter like you would see on a 4 wheel drive truck.
I guess looking at it only makes me worry as it doesn't look like it would sit flat, or do they not do that? I guess I have to get the wrong one off and look up there again.

yep it still uses the 20049 filter. i have done 6 oil+filter changes and there is absolutely no fitment/leakage issues after 3600 miles on the new motor.
here is the label from the box of the replacement i bought.
here is the one from the 305 i used (it was accidentally left out in the rain for a week when i no longer needed it)
