Default accusump tap in block ?

does the LS6 engine block have a port directly into the oil gallery to tie-in an accusump line ?
thought i saw a thread on this but can't find it.

you can plumb into drivers side towards front of block.

you need a metric to AN adapter

I believe David Farmer did a writeup on exact adapter size and where to buy.

Here is a link: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1634366/accusump.pdf

You can also use a special fitting (Kurt Urban Performance sells it) that goes into the plug at the end of the diagonal oil galley, in the driver's rear side of the block. With this location, you get a "free" one way valve in the form of the anti-drainback on the oil filter, as the above galley is just after the oil filter.
You can do a search for the LS oil galley diagram, in case the above is not clear.

Found info:

Parker fitting - part # 8M16C8MXS
right angle M16 x 1.5 to AN8

Earls part# 9919FFJERL
M16 x 1.5 to AN 10

Double check part #'s but metric M16 x 1.5 is the correct block thread.
