Most new mag cases have a bogus oil pick up tube.
They are on a very steep angle, left to right,(oil light comes on in rh? corners unless overfull),
so you will have to extend the tube or re-attach the bell and swivel it around.
I usually just replace the tube with an old german one, but have recently used up my stock.
Other than that, for stock rebuilds,(and HP),
you need to watch the case savers holding up your barrels,
and run a tap into them,
or else your head studs will seem too long and may hit your inlet manifold, and/or the rockers.
I prefer the mag cases,
but for the cost of all the machining required for a big bore or stroker,
you cant go past the value of the alum cases that are all done.
