You can see those 2 gallery bulges in the valley if the block has em & reportedly they can be drilled out if they are present but not drilled. easiest would be to tap into the 1/8 NPT sender port at the top rear of the block & T & run em to the back of the heads & drill horizontle into the threaded boss in the rear of the heads then drill down from the top at an angle in the threads in the rearmost pedestal. You'd have full time oiling with that as opposed to timed cam oiling so size the orifice to get the amt of volume you need.

does anyone have the mahle piston numbers so I know which this is without calipers? No but you might Google it & see if a specific # comes up for oversizes (or call Mahle)

Here are a magnum and an LA block. Note the top hole in the deck between the 1st and 2nd bores is missing on the magnum, that is the passage for oil supply to the rocker shafts on LA's.
