I think the tube was on the 356 but the varying oil filler heights and caps were across the line. Not sure why there was so much problem with the sticking valves in the 356 other than it was a bit different from other engines so maybe not as efficient in internal air flow. I believe the curved side of those oil filter cans also acted like an airfoil and actually created a suction and turbulence effect on some engines which prevented designed flow.

EDIT: Wow, when CCCP copied, they did a fantastic job. 10 more CID but sure would take two looks to tell the difference at a distance if sitting side by side. The only obvious one I see at a distance is the starter motor solenoid difference.
