Small Block Oil Pick Up Tube Question

When I did the engine for my old 77 W150 it was easy because of the rear sump. I just got a pick up from Champ Oil Pans which has the large tube mounted to the bottom plate and modified it just a little. Of course that didn't really even need much for oil mods as it only rapped to about 6200. But, I always prefer to err on the oily side!
