remote oil drain plug?

Hey guys.... I'm getting ready to put the engine back in my 1988 Supra Saltare and was thinking it would be a really smart idea to install an oil drain plug with a hose on the end so that I could actually drain the oil out of the bottom of the engine.

Anyone know a source for these? Google was pretty un-helpful.

I was at Autozone recently and they had this plug for cars that maybe would fit your plug. It basically was a plug but you screwed on this tube and when the tube was screwed on it must open a valve in the plug that allows the oil to drain out. pretty neat actually.

It's called the FRAM Sure drain. Don't know if it will work for your engine but its worth a look, its like $14

Looking at it online it looks like it still needs about an inch and a half clearance on the bottom... it would work if the hose came out the side and not the bottom.....
