Hello... When assembling my transmission, I'd like to put my previous-to-this-from-a-different-engine hogs head on, as I rebuilt most of it before the old engine died . My question is, how do you suggest cutting the hog's head for an external aux oil line? It's Snyder's PN T-8009 ... the one that usually goes to the left of the mag contact.
Thanks...

Re: cutting cast hogs head for aux oil line
Drill in a series of connecting holes (around 1/8" or slightly larger) would be best. Then if you have access to an air die grinder with a cut off wheel would work great. Clean up the edges by means of a file or use a die grinder with an acorn style bit.
Hope this Helps,

Re: cutting cast hogs head for aux oil line
Cool.. thanks! SOUNDS easy enough! LOL... Yep... Got the doe grinder and some grinding wheels to help smooth the corners there's one on the hog's he'd I'm replacing, and whoever did it, did a very nice cut job! (Joe Bell, perhaps?). The one I'm taking off is one I owe Joe, yet! I told him I'd get mine to him, as he sold a rebuilt motor/trans to me... With a hogs head already on it.
Thanks again!

Re: cutting cast hogs head for aux oil line
Installed mine with just drill bit. Made two holes spaced and then filed away the center portion.
Think now some new kits come with a template, and fancy defector plate too. My install was the simple one, and to get the correct spot over the magnets to get the best toss of oil thrown up, did it with the hogshead on the motor.
Knowing that only a couple of holes and stuffed rags to catch the most of the shavings. (The entire engine and trans was going to be disassembled and rebuilt so no worries)
That helped place the fitting in the best spot. Drilled and tapped holes for the mounting screws and made a gasket too. Socket head machine screws hold the fitting in place, didn't want any nuts or bolts or stuff inside the hogshead that could get loose!
Locating position and drilling main center holes and the mounting screw holes.
Finished up with hogshead off during restoration.

Re: cutting cast hogs head for aux oil line
I drilled the same two holes and then used a hacksaw blade in my jig saw to finish the hole. That might not work on a wrong hand drive car with the pedals likely to be in the way.

Alan.... Luckily, the hog's head is off, and the pedals can easily be moved out of the way. Thanks!
