A better choice would be a pressure line to the front of the right galley to bypass the gauntlet of the lifter bores the oil normally has to run through to get to the front of the crank.

A big problem are the 1/4 or 9/32" oil leaks from the main bearing bores to the front four cam bearings. All that oil going up instead of onto the crank needs to be addressed. Other problems are the rear main cap/oil filter mating surface and oil passages matching, oil passages in the back of the block need opened and massaged, and ensure no restrictions on the suction side of the pump.

That's great input. In using the crossover tube. I will be using it in conjunction with the blocked off left gallery. The left gallery will now feed the #1 main shortening the path of the gauntlet feeding from the right side
.

Now with a flat tappet cam will there be enough splash oiling for the blocked off left side lifters? I would imagine the right bank would spray oil on to these lifters too... ??
