390 Oiling
By J. Robb - 01/21/2001 3:40:10 PM; IP 63.252.169.163
I have been reading about the FE oiling modifications, and have a few questions. I understand there are 3 small modifications, 1 being drilling the passage to the oil filter out to 7/16 and getting the larger filter adaptor (if you don't have it), 2 is drilling out a restriction from one of the pipe plugs in the back of the block to get more oil to the rear main, and 3 is putting a restriction under the rocker stand feed hole.

I will do #1 and #3 for sure, but is #2 really necessary? Everyone talks about putting a carburetor jet in the rocker stand feed hole... do you first need to tap out the hole and screw it in, or just set it in there? And what size jet should I use? Or is there something better than the jet? I plan on using a high volume oil pump and a windage tray.
This is a 69 390 "IP".

Also, which FE engines came with sodium valves? Thanks your advice.
This thread, so far...
