I wimped out in the end. Rob Robertson pointed out that only half the lobes would get a good oiling - the ones that hit the follower straight after having oil dripped on them. Where the cam has to rotate 270 degrees before it get to the follower after oil drip most of it would be thrown off.
I have the pipe fitted just no holes in it!

I wish I had bought that chevy tool now and made the grooves in the block where the followers go - its back in this thread somewhere I'm on my phone so not so easy to look. That thinking about it is a better solution.
