If you are going to go the route of bolting something to the side of the pan, why not just use a turbo drain flange? I sell em on my site for like 15 bux.
That said, I dont like that idea. I pondered it at times, but usually end up just pulling the pan and either welding the fitting on or bolting a union on using a bulkhead nut to hold it. Before installing glob the nut with JB weld.
My biggest grip with the half assed bolting on of flanges is you gotta get a hole in the pan. If you use a drill, how can you be SURE its clean?

I have that bung, and it works fine, you drill your pan, big deal, I had the advantage of buying a new pan, so with it off I drilled it out and used the fitting.

When you run the oil return line I was told not to drill the hole..How else do you reccomend I do it ?
