Small Block Oil Pick Up Tube Question

thanks for the information. Based on your work I have taken a die grinder with a carbide burr and ground an inlet so it's closer to center. I plan to drill and tap it to 1/2 pipe so I'm very interested in your results with the Milodon end. Hope it works. I'd love to have a "go to" solution for an oil pump pickup that doesn't restrict the pump.
