I personally do not like to mount any hardware directly to the block as I have seen issues in the past with fittings cracking.
What I have done is used a 6-8 inch 3 an line from the block and mounted a T on the firewall instead of directly on the motor.
My personal preference is to use a sandwitch plate for oil supply.

the threads are a metric thread, you can get the proper fitting at amazon hose,
i also would mount a tee on fire wall and go from there, the vibration and movement of the engine - i have seen many of these fittings crack and leak
