12V oil return for twins 98 Dodge question

[IC-Smoke]

Installing a set of twins on a 98 12V, there isnt a oil return plug like on the 24V what gives? any way to do this? Considering pulling the pan and welding in a pipe for the bottom charger return line.

STORM blocks have them. I ended up with a gem. 98 12v block has a second oil drain, and it is a non-53 block.

Knock a hole in the oil pan with a small punch, then slowly open it up with larger and larger punches until you can thread in a bung.

This is a non 53 block and it has the castings there but no actual hole....

agreed that's how I did mine, then made shure I changed the oil afterwords just in case.

I welded mine in when I built my twins, but if I have to do it again I might just use the punch method... pulling the pan sucks!
