Does anyone know what size the oil pick-up tube is on a 22RE?

I'm going to modifiy my oil pan and will need to lengthen the pick-up tube. It would be nice to know what size tube I need on hand.

Most guys will make a large aluminum spacer and run a gasket on top and below to drop the pickup down further. This is how TRD does it on modern racecars. Item #2 in the picture below.

Or else run an oil accumulator and not bother modifying the pan for larger capacity.

In the long run, I'd like to run an accumulator but that's not in the budget right now.

The spacer arrangement could work, But I won't know that until I take it apart. I want to be able to make this modification with the least time down as possible. So I was thinking of extending the tube and pan because that involves basic welding and fab skills.

I'll bring this back once more to see if someone can help a fella' out

Thanks
