Re: T fitting back of block for oil return line.. (Question)
I hope you mean oil feed line, and if so then these are nice little units that can be had at http://www.homemadeturbo.com for like 15$
otherwise, keep it simple and talk to Stan a.k.a. the huge assortment of fittings man!

Looks good 
Avoid the L ones they sell at Home Depot, those are garbage (brass) and will break if you put a heavy oil sender on it with a little bit of vibration.

isn't that going to be the same as those extension. Basically, you are still extending the weight out further from the block

I'm not personally selling them but someone is. They are not really made to hold a sending unit. They are kinda made to accept a stock pressure sender warning light sensor and then a feed line. If you plan on running a larger aftermarket pressure sender than I'd run a line to it on the firewall and tee it off from there if you need an extra feed. This piece just provides a nice simple way to use one fitting to get you started rather than a 1/8" NPT tee and a metric adapter and then another metric adapter for the stock sender and stuff.

that fitting is a very nice unit, I used 2 fittings on all my kit. The weight is not the factor behind cracked or leaking from the thread on the block, but the fact taht you are screwing standard fitting on a british thread that will causes the leak. If you have the perfect BSPT threads, then you will be okay.
