My take on the oiling system crossover tube for the small block

.
On my magnum block I started with a 1/4 inch bit then went to a 9/32 then 5/16.
On my 340 the factory, step drilled it with a 5/16- 1/4. The last inch or two was all that needed drilled into the galley.
I did learn to stick a long screw driver or bar into the galley to stop me from drilling into the back wall of the galley.

procharged don't junk that block yet.

I used a battery powered drill at low speed and drilled it dry.

I don’t plan to junk it.
It sat for 20yrs under my work bench.
Still contemplating a way to fill it and run dry block/wet heads in a drag situation.

Got lots of other projects to keep me busy while I ponder. lol

Along with lots of drilling/taping practice yet to do.
