I came across a 1967 Chevy 3/4T that had the STRANGEST stovebolt I have seen so far! Most of it was standard (a 250, I think), but the rocker cover had 2 extra bumps over 1+2, and 5+6. It also had more oil breather plumbing than ANY engine I have ever seen. There were 1/2" tubes in and out of the rockers to the point you almost couldn't set the top of the engine. Each tube had a small filter(?) about half way along. It was a real snake nest. Any idea what engine it might be and what all the tubes were for? Not life and death, it just sparked my curiosity. Next time I go, I'm taking my camera.
Current fleet (subject to change w/o notice) \'49 GMC 3/4-Ton , 60 Austin Healey Frog-eye Sprite (some assembly required), 2011 Dodge Avenger, 2015 Jeep Cherokee. No, they don't all run. My other ride is a (B737)no, (B767)no, A320.... Update... was Embraer E190, now Boeing B787. Knowledge is a wonderful thing, but ignorance means you don't know you can't do something.

There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

Be yourself. If you are ever lost, It will be much easier to find yourself if you know who you are!

It had one lifter cover that had a capped off 1/2" tap above the #5 bolt hole. Santucci mentions modified sidecovers for external drainback and pan ventilation, but he's talking drag racer mods-- I think you have a heavy duty truck application that had an oil bath air cleaner. Very obsolete.
BTW, I'm using the modified /capped side cover at the rear. Can't hurt and it's different. And I'm too cheap to buy a new untapped sidecover.
Every 25 years I like to rebuild that 292 just for GP
