V8 60 Oil pump pickup tube

[Oakhurst]

We've been trying to rebuild this for an old raceboat I bought 10 years ago. It's been in three shops and still not done. We are missing the oil pomp pickup tube
.Can anyone help?

I know that there’s 2 styles, what year engine
don’t know if there’s a difference, the 1940 engine used a different pump because of main bearing change
I once bought a lot of 60 hp parts from a boat guy, he said 7000 rpm 2 seasons, 7500 rpm perhaps 1/2 season with balanced stock bottom end.
Aft that I didn’t worry rpm on the 39 with the 60, downshifting whenever it slowed to 40 on hills

My builder say it is the short crank, 37-39
