Default Oil Return Line

Yes I have searched. The only answer I got was I need to accommodate it.
Facts...

1JZ with a front sump converted into a rear sump. Now the oil return lines do not line/match up.
Question is, how do I get it to line up and can I just by a US Spec oil return line?

Sump conversion is from an 2JZGTE(US Spec). Thanks.

I ran into the same problem when i converted mine. I had to bend the lines that run from the turbos and modify the bracket that is running along the side of the block so that I could connect the hoses. It took me around an hour to do everything and install new hoses. This was probaly the hardest part of the whole swap and a pain in the a$@.

That was going to be my last option. Anyone else?

custom return line? just get the right fittings and make your own line. its probably not that hard. I made mine from scratch for my na-t.
you can order everything from JEGS or Summit Racing for pretty cheap.
