Just curious if you knew the amount in crankshaft rotational degrees how much difference there is between the two makes of blocks.
Also in the engine that you had the lines inside the pan did you anchor the lines to a windage tray or do anything to keep the lines out of the crankshaft path?

I used to remember how far ahead Chrysler oiling is but I don't remember now. It's pretty easy to figure. My best thought was it was 15-18 degrees too soon.

When I moved everything out of the pan, I made a 1.25 quart tank that I hung on the fire wall. The main oil out of the block went to the filter and from the filter to the top of the tank with number 10 lines. On the bottom of the tank I used 5 number 4 Teflon lines that ran to the pan, except for number 5 which ran to the clean oil in at the block and I had a "T" in it for oil pressure. The other 4 lines went to the side of the pan and went into the pan with number 4 bulkhead fittings. I made small holes in the windage tray. I don't recall now exactly but I know 3 of the lines has straight fittings hooking to the tank and 1 needed a 45 to get to it. I think that was number 1.

I never had a line hit anything and I left enough line to be able to drop the pan in the car and get the lines loose.

I had three different pans I did this with. The first was a Milodon super stock pan. Then I went to rack and pinion so the next pan was a Milodon dragster pan. I thought I needed a kick out so I bought a Stefs pan. What a piece of crapola that was. It had 2 simple oil dams in it and that was it. I called them and they said run it. I was worth about 10 HP at 8000 but it was hurting parts at the track. I had to weld three baffles in it to fix it.

The Milodon was a much better pan even though it gave up 10 HP.
