Good thought, I remember installing a pre-made by-pass kit for my old '55
Chevy six cylinder after the internal passages became blocked and I seem to
remember there was a small tap, similar to what you see on a water line for
an icemaker.

Mine (TR6) is self made from a metal brake line (the fitting is correct and
screwed right in)and has a tap installed to control oil flow.
It's been there for the fifteen years I've owned the car. Works well.  
I added a T fitting to accommodate the warning light sensor.
