Oer 47mm... this is the exact same setup that I had when I had a 12a as far as oil lines go.. I put a T in before oil pressure sensor/sending unit for feed... Tapped the 12a front cover for 1/2 NPT and put in 45° and hose barb on for return...

I took my intake manifold off and am having a guy polish it and fill the ports to match the 4 port motor vs 6 port that the manifold was designed for... it was previously filled with epoxy but this will be better... also he is making me a custom carb hat from scratch as well as aluminum injector hold down brackets i found out that the 12a rear stationary gear is shorter than the 13b one... thank god i found this out before i get the motor started.... so i switched that out and put in a new rear main seal...

I'm definitely using it! Just kinda joking there It is a one off piece made by my friend Justice He made it all from flat aluminum and used a band saw and a grinder !!! I can't wait to pop my hood with this under it... . also the rails were polished and the rail hold downs were fabricated from scratch by him. I love it
