I like that squirters-from-the-mains idea. However, I already had the engine ready to test-fire and install in the racer- hate to tear it back down. So I'm hoping to mount the nozzles in the block's pan rail- and attempt to come up with reliable plumbing.

Jack, the piston squirters I’m familiar with (6B and 6C Cummins) are plastic( yep, plastic) and fit in bosses in each main saddle. I’m pretty sure you could fabricate a common oil manifold that would fit in them in the side of the oil pan; the trick is going to be setting the angle on the squirters themselves. All the ones I’ve worked with are aimed at the underside of the piston to provide additional cooling to the piston head.

Thanks for the info. Yes, aiming them (to strike as much wall as possible) will be tricky.
