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

I just measured another 360 block I have in my garage. From the top it is exactly 7 1/2".

You can see here the mark on my 408 is 1/2" from going in on the 360 block I measured. :

Could this be a problem? Do I need to tap that oil plug in my 408 up from the main cap side a 1/2"?

I would tap it in.

Did you check the inside driver side rear galley plug to see if it is missing.
