Good information but did you even make an attempt to do a search before creating a thread that has been made 6.37465 quadrillion times. Good effort
This is the reason why we need some Tech stickies because everybidy knows the hater-tech search engine is as fickle as a freshmen cheerleader at a senior prom.

It really isn't, but when you start adding **** like oil gauges to the tee, it starts getting pretty heavy to all be supported by a small threaded hole.
I ran with my oil feed and oil pressure gauge teed off the back of the block for a few months, but it worried me that it would snap the brass fitting off inside the block, so I opted for a sandwich adapter instead.

I know you're supposed to use the BSPT to NPT fitting for hole in the block, but I've always wondered....what would happen if you just used an NPT fitting for that hole? Would it just not seal correctly?

Because the threads don't match up perfectly you can easily crack the block or strip the threads out. And that would really suck to repair because of the location.
The best way is to just use the right fitting so you don't have to worry about it.
