How does one address oil fill when combining classic Corvette valve cover reproductions with a modern intake manifold?

 

Only two things that come to mind, neither of which is practical, are pulling the distributor or somehow put it in the dipstick tube.

 

No, those aren't very practical. As it is, the aftermarket block isn't even drilled for a dipstick. It's just a little level plug thing self-contained in the Moroso pan.

I guess I'd have to have one of the covers drilled, which begs the question as to whether it's then worth using those covers at all.

 

Another thought then if you still want a nice valve cover would be the ones they used on the LT-1 & L-82 Corvettes and some 70s Z/28s. They have the oil fill cap in them. They also polish up very nice.

 

Is there no way to plumb a remote (off-engine) oil fill onto a wet sump engine?

 

Probably plumb something into the oil pan.

 

I know that the Accel Street Ram and the stock GM versions of TPI can't be fitted with an old fashioned Rochester Ram Jet type front oil fill tube.

Does anybody know if the Holley Stealth Ram manifold could accomdate such a modification?
