One thing that hasn't been mentioned is the restriction you put in an oil line when you use a common 90 degree fitting in the system.
Back when I first started running 351C's on dirt it was common practice to run 100#'s of oil pressure to keep the crank alive. So we bought a Ford Motorsport 100# relief spring.
Then we started blowing off the block mounted remote oil pressure adaptor... after a couple tries I called Bud Moore Engineering and he made one for me out of billet aluminum. The others were die cast. Blew that one off the block in 5 seconds.
While were having this problem my neighbor comes over to see what the hell we were yelling about. He was an engineer for machine tool giant Kearney and Trecker. He found the problem in ten seconds... we used a forged -10 90 degree ftting on the adaptor. he told us the pressure increases about ten fold with that 90... we needed a gentle curved fitting (I forget what they call them).
Put one one and the problem was fixed. If you are using any 90 degree fitiings in your oiling system you are creating problems with oil delivery.
