[QUOTE="F8L SN8K, post: 12069237, member: 50367"] Best advice for oiling system if your wanting to spin the motor higher then 8k. Use the melling/FRPP oil pump and do NOT use a fine mesh screen. It becomes a restriction when you're sucking that volume of oil. The oil will be clean lol but won't make it to where it needs to go sufficiently. A coarse screen is better. The 5.4s oil pump would push oil out of the front cover at above 8,500. I haven't seen/heard issues with the 5.0 yet. But everyone is still learning about these engines. The standard cobra jet pan is the Boss 302R pan. You won't have any issues with it. It's fantastically engineered. It's pricey by some people's standards for "just an oil pan". As for my build I will be doing a full write up on the entire build. Each step of the process will be documented and detailed. From pick up,chassis build, paint, suspension, engine, transmission/clutch detail, testing, racing and even maintenance of the car. Do to the racing program nature there may be a few items that can't be detailed to a T but I plan on sharing the vast majority of it. I will have several places that will have information as well as some that will detail everything in its entirety. I plan to get the whole "follow along as we build" series kicked off around one week after the US nationals in Indy. We plan to do Facebook, twitter, a few forums I frequent, own website as well has submitting to a few magazines. It's going to be fun and a whole lot of work! But hopefully we will gain some friends, teach, learn and gain some attention for our little program. [/QUOTE]
