If you had a six stage system which means 5 scavage ports where specifically would you plumb those 5 lines. I can see that probably 3 would go to the pan but exactly where and how would the other 2 lines go?? I'm looking at a hemi implementation.

If you have a 5 stage, you could do 3 in the pan and one in the valley. We usually do that if the valley is sealed off. Or you could just do 4 in the pan. The 5th stage would be the scavenge out of the reservoir, pressure out to a filter, then into the block. Hope this helps

I guess my question really is how do you get to the lifter valley, where is the line plumbed etc. How do you get to the oil in the valley?? That's the only area that is fuzzy to me, I guess some pictures would work wonders if anyone has some. Thanks Guys!!

I have a valley plate on my SB and I drilled a hole for a bulkhead fitting... the braided line mounts to the fitting then on the inside I have a tube welded to the fitting that goes to the back corner to suck up the oil

Well the simple answer is that you put the lines where you need them. A circle track motor might put a line to the passenger side valve cover for example because oil will pile up there. A drag motor might put a line in the back of the valley. A boat motor with the engine mounted backwards will put the lines in yet another location.
