Is it possible to tap and cap the oil pan?
To have it already done for a future power adder install?

 

Yes, in fact some aftermarket oil pans come with oil pans already tapped for future use of oil fed superchargers. You might want to do a little research on which blower you are planning on going with since all the major manufacturers are offering self oiling now.

 

Think you could refer me to some of those oil pans?
Any ball park figure what it would cost to get my stock one tapped?

 

I will try to find the pan I was talking about that already had it tapped and capped. It wouldn't cost much to tap your pan. And you can even do it yourself if you are decent with tools.

 

The priciest part of tapping the pan for me was finding the 3/8" NPT Tap! I looked everywhere in my area and the only one that had it local was Grainger. Of course they are expensive as hell so I paid 40 bucks for one damn tap. If you can find the tap online, local for cheaper, or if you already have one it will save you some money.

Actually tapping the pan isn't hard at all. I think it took me maybe 30 minutes. Most of the reason it took as long as it did is you can't get a good swing on the punch, you kinda just slowly tap it and go in little by little. That can be a good thing though and keep you from punching the hole too big.

One other thing, I would not buy a supercharger simply because it is self contained. Oil fed units tend to be more reliable and less of a hassle down the road. Self contained are for those who are afraid to tap their pan. You're on the right track, just take your time,, do it right, and never worry about it again.
