1968 Plymouth Barracuda Fastback (old school build with a new school feel)
I did some oiling mods to my 2001 5.9 Magnum. I drilled the main galleys to the main crank bearings out to 5/16". Then drilled/tapped the crank main to cam bearings. Red Locktited in some set screws, then drilled them down to 5/32", just a bit bigger than what the cam bearings require (.110"). I also matched the hole size of the machined face of the rear main cap into the galley, then smoothed the transition with a die grinder. Drilled an 1/8" hole from the main galley to the cam/oil pump gear drive gear. I am doing this so I can take advantage of running a high volume oil pump. I also drilled 1/4" between the factory holes of oil filter plate. Here are some pics of the galley/main/cam oils supplies:
