The oil pick up boss is the only point of contact but that might change with less than .030" between the rod bolts and bottom of the cylinders. They're gonna be cozy with some heat and RPM. Gotta dust a bit off the bores. We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind. - Stu Harmon

Familiar too. neat way you have the pick up tube adapter mounted zippy. how much did you have to move it ? did you just slot the mounting holes then move the adapter over for clearance, or did you plug the original holes, move the required clearance amount, then re-drill and tap new holes ? feets, how much clearance do you have between the crank throw and the piston skirt ?

It's an aftermarket block and comes that way. I stopped at this point, I didn't care much for any of the mods required to make the internal pickup work so I went external. Rich H. Esse Quam Videri
