Help! Got FE block Oiling Question?

By K-SKI - 04/28/2006 10:54:20 PM; IP 207.68.211.131

Hey there FE Pro's. I've got a simple question to ask you street machine guys, I'm building a 390 with Edelbrock heads and intake with a 270 comp cam for a street truck. I'm planning on reving the engine some where between 5500-6000 and need to know if anything needs to be done to the block for the oiling system? I will be using a windage try. And should I use a stock replacement oil pump or a high volume?

What I have is a fully machined 1970's .030 over block from P.A.W. with a fully balanced rotating assembly with forged FT's, but I asked if they did any of the oiling mods to the block to improve oil control, they said no.

So now I have a fully machined block but I don't know if only running the RPM's just short of 6000 do I really need the oil mods done like, drilling out the casting restriction in the back of the block, top of cam boss and drilling and flaring out the block side to the oil pump and oil filter? Or will the block be fine left alone stock with a replacement oil pump and windage try?

I really need your expert opions before I start to assemble my block!

Thanks for your time! K-SKI
