Thanks Rumble
I guess I forgot the most important part, The oil pump was a HV HP melling that was fitted to the cap and all oil passages cleaned up with long drill bits, opened up about .010 - .015" not much but made sure they were straight through clean, no burrs, rounded all corners that needed it. It had a Milidon pump cover with a 1/2" pick up out the bottom straight down to the bottom of a custom pan with 2 trap doors and baffles, held 7 qts with 1" cut off the dip stick tube so the oil level was 1" lower in the pan. That's about it, no crossover tube, no blocked or restricted passages, I ran this motor on the street and the track for probably 15,000 miles in 30 years had it apart at least 6 times about every 5 years and it looked like new every time. I had the motor in my AAR when I sold it and it still had the same bearings that I put in it in 1977. Here is a picture of the motor I took it out of the AAR to put in new freeze plugs they rusted out over all the years.
