I looked at the timing cover tonight. It's tight, no real room to put a fitting that I could find yet. The oil pan is a whole different set of issues to get to. In order to remove the Pan, the motor needs to come out or the engine cradle dropped a decent amount. This is not an fbody, so dropping the cradle isnt as simple. I doubt I could even get a drill in place the drill then tap a hole with the pan still on the motor.
Time for some more problem solving thinking....
Edit: looks like i'll be dropping the cradle. That shall take a whole day if not more, at the rate I work on the car lol.
also, perhaps I'll just buy another cts-v oil pan, have a bung welded on that and then drop the old one and right away put the new one in. That way it wont be apart for long, while Id forget how to put it back together. Then I can sell my old one and the new windage tray/pickup tube.
