Oil supply can be had from a small hex head bung on the left hand side of the engine almost inside the LHS engine mount. I checked my pics but I don't have any.........

Oil drain to the sump. I drilled a hole then welded a steel threaded fitting in then screwed my brass fitting into that, nice neat and strong. I also used a t piece from the alternator oil line to feed my Turbo. I got a mate from pertec to make my lines and supply T fittings and tony powell for the sump fittings.

Oil feed, inside passenger-side engine mount. Do a search on the success rate of using this feed point re:removing the bung. My tips: use GOOD QUALITY TOOLS, and be ver patient!
