It should work a treat, we used bundy and piped it around back of the head into the oil breather plenum as per attached picture, this avoids the heat of exhaust and puts in back into the normal place for oil to drain back to the sump.

Shaun, I can’t see from the pictures, does it drain to the sump or to the timing chest?

Looks great. This is one of those "whenever I get in there" projects I would like to have done.
