Stock oil pan and HV oil pump?

Another huge consideration is that with a stock pan oil can uncover the pickup on a hard take off. I discovered that with my old 360 as soon as I got it to hook up. My suggestion is to run a deeper pan like the Kevko or Milodon that has decent ground clearance and oil baffles to keep the oil where it should be. Starving the engine for oil on take off is just as bad as sucking a pan dry

Another thing, IMO there's no benefit of having 30+ psi oil pressure at idle. I've ran the crap out of some engines that barely had 10 psi at idle and they lived a very long life. IMO 20-25 psi at idle is more than enough. Remember that the higher the pressure is the more you heat the oil up and thin it out

I was thinking about that as well, but could I just weld in some baffles or something? I was looking at a kevco pan, they have good ground clearance and a crank scraper, but I don't think it'll be very easy to get here, or cheap. I was also looking at milodon pans and the one I was looking at didn't have room for a windage tray.

And one reason I want oil pressure is because I am running a solid roller camshaft, my lifters have pressure oiling, but still want as much oil to them as I can.
