Try running 5W-50 Mobil1 or 15W-50 Mobil1
By Dave Shoe - 04/23/2001 8:51:19 PM; IP 12.2.11.131
Your concern seems to be one of cold-flow, not hot flow.

Mobil1 5W-50 will flow FAST in any application above zero degrees Fahrenheit. At hot temp it holds the 50 weight that you logically seek.

As for drainback issues, perhaps a smaller sized rocker restrictor orifice is called for. Common orifice diameters seem to range from .060" to .090". I dunno which is better for your application, but if you're flooding upstairs, I suspect you can pretty safely drop the diameter in .010" increments until you're happy that oil is not puddling upstairs.

As for drawing "air bubbles" oil pump, I suspect they are not much of a concern in an FE. "Air pockets", however, are what I've found to be a regular problem in a stock-panned high-perf FE.

JMO,
Shoe.
