Default Oil Tank Questions.

Currently I am running a breather out of the back of the intake on my 482 FE. Noticed quite a bit more oil coming out of the breather than I would like to see so I am considering switching to a oil return tank (not sure what the proper name is).

I am in the process of building one similar to the original however I am using stainless steel. Plan to mount it to the fire wall like the original.

Questions:

1. What size diameter pipe is the inlet and outlet?

2. Why are the inlet and outlet positioned at the same height? (Or at least it appears that way to me) I would think that the return line to the oil pan would be lower that line entering the tank.

3. How long is the tank and what is the diameter of the tank.
