Made a jig yesterday to make the new pickup tube.  Cut the top and bottom of the stock pickup tube off, tacked the bottom to the baffling in the oil pan and bolted the top half to the engine.  Then just cut some random tubing to size and tacked that together so i could make a jig out of it as to make a proper new pickup tube.  Here is the results.

Example of how much i need to modify a stock one.  Jigs are awesome.
