Good luck fabricating that alternator cone. You can find them used instead of making one. It's not a simple shape.

I'd simply extend that filler tube and get new hoses. Make sure they are oil-safe. If you were going to increase the size of any of the hoses/fittings, the driver's side valve cover would be one and the pipe in the alternator base would be the other. The crank throws a LOT of oil toward the 3-4 cylinder side, not so much to 1-2.

On my 911 fan setup I plugged that pipe in the alternator base. I made a 3/4" I.D. pipe to my breather that goes in the distributor hole(I know not an option for you).
