lifter galley crossover tube with air gap intake?

it will be road raced and spend a long time between 5000 and 7500 rpm. i live 10 miles from road america so i cant waste it lol. so right now the braided line is in with 90* fittings just like the one someone posted on page 7 of Guitar Jones's oiling mod sticky. so you guys are saying a hard line will clear for sure? im stuck with 1/4 NPT holes perpendicular to the lifter gallies so gotta make it work somehow. man i looked at all the pics i could find of this intake ahead of time but they all looked like it layed flat and no pics of bottom. on the chinese knock-offs i saw the step down but not on the eddy, wasn't expecting this. thanks for the responses
