Small Block Oil Pick Up Tube Question

Talked with a guy at Milodon a minute ago. He is working with NHRA on a possible solution to the pan problem with the stockers. In the mean time I am trying to buy the screw in, end piece from a hemi pickup tube which is 1/2npt to weld to the 18650 pickup tube or any tube that size.



I now have a hemi pickup tube insert coming from Milodon. Hopefully it will be here in a few days. Once received I will see if it will work on the end of the 18650 pickup tube. I will post a picture of my creation.

My mine is a whirl with the images of great quantities of oil flowing from the pumps of small block mopars.
