What manifold and carbs are those?
Move the pressure regulator to the inside of the oil pan;Where is the send and return coming from and going to? With the angle of the filter how do you prefill/prime it? Have you replaced the flinger filter with a pulley from a 128 or similar? Very tidy looking set up but I've so many questions!!
It's called "reverse flow oiling system" and involves the elimination of the sling filter entirely and routing the oil OUT the former over pressure unit and back into the main oil gallery. Motor needs to be apart to do this alteration even though possible in the car. Consult FAZA race prep by Al Cosentino or "Fiat and Abarth Tricks" by Greg Schmidt. If space allows mounting the filter so as not to spill oil on changing is preferred. It also allows the use of an oil cooler.Where is the send and return coming from and going to?

Yes. The BEST way would be to use an Autobianchi A112 motor which comes with a spin on filter factory. Rare here and those who have these blocks (Jeff X) are reluctant to part with them.Frank, Is this whole proceedure necessary if you just want to mount a remote oil filter?

What does the oil pressure relief valve look like at the other end of the block? It is also an AN fitting?Actually, I picked up a complete A112 engine in Holland in 04, brought it back in my checked luggage. Thats for later.
That said, I have a complete 843 with high compression pistons and ported head that is pretty close to drop in but there is a fitting screwed into where the oil pressure sensor goes. Motor still has oil slinger pulley attached. Does it look like there might have been a remote oil filter? This engine came out of a custom sports racer chassis.

The block below is an 843 bored out and fitted an "stroker" crank, Displacement was stated to be 1040cc.
I guess I answered my own question. There is a plug or set screw in the pulley end of the crank.
