I got the fitting at a metric warehouse place about 10-15 miles from me. They mostly do wholesale but sell to individuals too. The fitting they had was a M14x1.5 to 1/4NPT male adapter, so I'll have to go to the plumbing place to get a double 1/4NPT female piece and use the hose connector supplied with the block heater. I think I can find a 1/4NPT female elbow fitting that will work perfectly for thermosiphoning. They can special order a M14x1.5 to 1/4NPT female fitting, but I didn't feel like waiting for it to come in.

How does the 14x1.5 side seal to the block?

I ordered in one from fastenal- due on monday AM. It has 5/8 inverted flare, for 3/8 compression fitting. should be able to adapt that to 5/8 barb easy.
the crush washer- is that the same size/close enough to the oil drain one? I've got a few of them lying around...

Same size as the oil drain one. I installed it today, seems to be working pretty good, tomorrow morning will be the test, will I have heat before I get half way to school?... The fitting I had was a little too thick, so I drilled it out to widen the hole to be the same as the one that came with the block heater. I used a NPT female elbow to connect it to the fitting that came with the block heater, was a little tight against the engine when I put the hose on, but it just barely fit... I did use some extra thick hose though, most hose would probably be thinner and go on easier.
