Oil pressure sensor on 400
There is no hole for an oil pressure sensor on my new 400, do I just measure the location, drill and tap a hole? or is there something else I should know about.

Are you talking about the location near the oil filter? Yes, you could drill and tap there if you wanted to. Hope you haven't tanked your block already because you'll have to do it again.

Yes, it is above the oil filter.
I am a little concerned about drilling a hole in my block :crazy:
I bought the engine already built, and I don't think I can get it tanked. That makes sense though, I don't want those little filings killing my engine.
Why didn't the block come with a sensor hole? :confused:

You can't even go by casting numbers--even they're not drilled and tapped the same way across-the-board.
This is why I really like them.
