full groove cam bearings?

Reaming out the mains to 1/2"? I sincerely hope your not talking about drilling the main bearing feeds to 1/2". That'd weaken the block considerably and wouldn't gain anything because the feed holes in the main bearings aren't very big. I drill the main feeds to 9/32". If your using a HV pump make sure and use a good aftermarket pickup because the stock pickup is too restrictive and you don't gain anything.

LMAO! I'm not an idiot. I'm talking about the main oil feeds to and from the oil filter and along the passenger side lifter gallery. The feeds to the mains were already 5/16" so I left those alone. I also modded the oil pump to 1/2" and rounded all the turns as best as I could. I also slotted the main bearings slightly. I plan on using either a canton pickup or even a moroso.

I know i'm overdoing an engine that will redline at 6700 rpm's and spend most of its days on the street but I like for my engine to stay as healthy as possible for as long as possible.
