Be wary of using threaded brass or copper into the block with a lot of plumbing hanging off it. I have had brass pipe fracture at the threads near the block from engine vibrations. The threads greatly amplify the stress concentration in the pipe. A rubber hose connection into a nipple would be better.
Somebody always has to rain on my parade! LOL! Actually Frenchy your point is a valid one. Why couldn't I use something like this to come out of the block. Its steel 1/4 NPT to 4AN

tranny, and then along the bottom portion of the head below the plugs to the pump.
I know that is a long ways to go, but it seems like the cleanest way to get there. does this make any sense?
I just think coming over the top of the motor for the supply looks terrible.
