   You just drill a hole as high as you can in it to fit a oil pipe. Some pople weld a nut on it but you dont have to
   
   ps. the oil pipe MUST be above the oil level

   fairly easy all things considered, just weld a fitting on near the top. Whist were on the subject has anybody trapdoor their sump? Was looking for pictures a while ago to try make my own but didnt really find much of use, i think it would be a worthwhile mod on a boosted lump

   Dont just weld it willy nilly though, the return needs to be free of bends/kinks/loops etc. Try and get it mocked up so the return is as free flowing as possible.

   No but I have had a few large baffled sumps. You can make large ones by welding a box to lower back of the sump then drill upper and lower holes in the stock sump to let the oil pass
