Drew;
If you have enough iron at that location to safely drill and tap the threads needed to install a large enough fitting so that the oil passage is the same size through and on both sides of the fitting and your lines have adequate clearance then no problem. An oil filter adapter is just one way an accusump can be easily installed on the filtered oil side with out creating a bottle neck to smooth oil flow or machining the block.
