The most critical FE oiling mod is...
By Dave Shoe - 12/13/2002 12:46:57 AM; IP 216.243.176.34
...an aftermarket oil pan.

It is imperative that a high capacity oil pan be installed on a fast FE, as the stock 5-quart pan is guaranteed to cause oil starvation under hard acceleration or cornering.

Stock pans are fine if you have a 15 second car or slower. 14 second bracket cars need an extra quart of oil in the 5-quart pan, along with the windage tray to keep this extra oil off the crankshaft. 13 second cars need a good oil pan with trap door baffling. After this is installed you can start to consider other oil mods.

JMO,
Shoe.
