[QUOTE="truebluecobra, post: 5816508, member: 1921"] Yes this could get very technical.........So here are just a few of the things an old uneducated country boy could think of............. I have up-graded a few of these motors ( heads,cams and oilpans ) The size of the oil returns in the heads look plenty large enough compared to pushrod Ford motors - back in the good old days we restricted the heck out of oil flow to the heads since we turned them 7800 rpm and the could empty an oilpan pretty qiuckly and the oil return was unable to keep up, even then we still used a 10qt oilpan !!!!!.With the overhead cams oil restriction could be a bad thing since the cams ride in the aluminum heads with no bearings !! Now about the G-forces on high speed banking,driving counter-clockwise should move the oil to the RH cylinder head correct ?? The big question is how many G's or/and how much banking would it take to become an issue ?? So there are several options to the Accusump oil input to the engine, there is an unused 1/4"npt ( which is smaller than the recomend 1/2 or 3/8 ) plug right next to the oil pressure sending unit on the oil filter adapter - this is probably best since it will feed oil to the entire engine, or there is an oil feed plug on the front and rear of each cylinder head ( was thinking of the LH cylinder head if the oiling at the valvetrain is the issue ) If I went with the accusump I would use 2qt min and 3qt if it could be mounted in the engine compartment, anyway I digress.............:sleeping: I am searching for the oil flow path in the engine now !!!!!!:bash: [/QUOTE]
