looking at the photo, and imo, the oil inlet will not work. there is 1.4" clearance between the frame and an fitting, which in this picture is crimped and uses a lot less room than the threaded an fittings if that is what you are using, this fitting is -12 btw. a 90deg. -12 an fitting is about 2" deep and will not be able to be started on that fitting. you might get it on prior to engine installation but if ever removed the engine will have to be moved, and installing with fitting on will be a hassle also imo, everything is tight.

a straight -12 thread can be used for the block if i remember right with a soft aluminum or other type gasket between the block and flats. plug the normal oil scavenge port in the block.

if the frame has been redesigned in this area disregard, but i don't believe it has.
