Quote: I don't think adding the drain lines would be that big a deal. I would do 4 drains like stock instead of two, and weld bungs to the oil pan instead or drilling/tapping the block. Then span the gap with some bent steel line with flared on fittings. You would never see it once the engine was in the car. I wouldn't call it a deal breaker but is one more thing you have to do.
if you ever bolted a set of headers on a hemi you would know thats an impossible idea, most designs hug block and pan rail by 3/8 inch all over the place. the 2 1/4 tube ttis are like 1/4 away, and hit oil pan rail. and if it worked might look like hacked junk, with 4 places to leak from and get very hot from headers. 2 russels get it done and are solid and leak free but still look like hacked junk on stock type restored car
