The standard FE oil mods are:
Drill out the passage from the oil pump to the oil filter pad from 3/8 to 7/16" or 1/2" and round off the corners.
Use a HV oil pump and add an extra qt of oil, at least 6qts
Heavy ARP oil pump shaft
Match oil holes to bearings in the mains
Use a Holley carb jet to restrict the oil to the rockers under the shaft mounts (one per head)
Other mods include
windage tray, drill passage from oil filter pad to cam, deep sump oil pan with baffles
275~300 for an FE is not hard, above 6000 rpm is another issue, the oil pan might go dry if you go above 6000. Pay careful attention to the bearing clearances.
The Ford Performance book has a lot of the details about this as well as Steve Christ's Big Block Ford book.
