Lube Circuit Access

Anybody know a spot, besides the oil pressure sender hole, where you can tie in to the lube circuit on a 3V 5.4L? I've looked on the engine and in the books but haven't found anything but that port for the oil pressure sending unit...but I'm double checking in case I missed something.

Tapping in a bypass filter? That's the only spot I know of on the motor, but I'd have to search also...haven't heard of one though.

I'm not sure about the 3v, but the 2v has a plug outboard of #2 & #3 which is connected to the cam's oil galley. I used it to oil a blower for a while, and then decided to switch to the block/oil sensor port as the idea of stealing oil from the cams was worrying me. iirc, there are ports on the back of heads as well.
