Default oil return line placement??

ok so i have a z6 block with a y8 oil pump and a y8 head. now for all you that do kno or dont know on y8s the dip stick is on the oil pump correct... but i already have a dipstick on the z6 block itself. now i was wondering if it would be a good idea to use the existing hole in the oil pump as a oil return line for my turbo set up?? lmk what you guys think of the idea.. can it be done or is it too high for a return line?

not recommended. the oil return line is usually bigger than the dipstick hole.

hell nooo. You need your return line to be atleast -10an 5/8" Hoses. Do it right tap the pan.
