anybody smallblocked a d50? how about turbo'd one?

I had a 73 Datsun for a short time back in the late 70's that a guy built with a Ford 302, was fast but still had Datsun brakes, did not like to stop. He welded a pipe into the oil pan for the cross link to go through. It interfered with oil flow, nail it and oil pressure would drop to almost 0 psi. Got ride of it....
