Running a pipe or hose from the heads to the sump will fill the head on the outside with oil when making a long sweeping turn. This already happens without the hose, through the pushrodtubes! To cover this problem you can lengthen the pushrodtubes on one side, where they'll enter the block. This way you'll create a barrier so the oil can't flow as easily into the pushrodtubes as with standard tubes. Don't block the openings between the lifters and the pushrodtubes completely, duh!
You can use hoses or tubes but then you'll have to fit one-way valves in them, and it would have to be rather large diameter hoses or tubes. At least #10.

You can just use windage pushrod tubes for that.
