6 cylinder oil scavenge line, With heat exchangers Options

['73-914kid]

Quick question for those of you running heat exchangers and an external oil cooler..

What did you do for the oil scavenge line that come out of the passenger side of the engine case? I have an old pipe that someone welded a -12 AN fitting to, however it was pinched long before I ever came across the engine, and I'm looking for an alternative.

Patrick motorsports sells a line than looks exactly like mine for $160 (option 1)

My other thought was to run an AN line off the case to my thermostat at the firewall, however I don't know if there is sufficient room for this line to fit with heat exchangers and the heater boxes.

So, what have some of you done that are in this situation? I would much rather build a line myself with AN fittings than blow a bunch of cash on a rather simple oil pipe from PMS..

I've used a metric AN adapter fitting that screwed right into the case. You take off the metric oil pipe fitting that's in the case, then you can use a AN 90* fitting and route a flexible oil line toward the rear of the car and away from the heat exchangers.

Just fitted same except I used the 120 degree elbow to move the hose close to the case. Thermostat is on the firewall. But I am running headers presently.
