I was under the impression that if you "tubed a block" that you were adding lubrication to lifters.
I lost.

Negative ghostrider. Tubing the block eliminates the pressurized oil from leaking around the lifter body. The lifters are now reliant on splash oiling only. (Unless you put very small holes in the tube in each lifter bore.

I just had Mike Jones spec me a cam and lifter package for my 422. I asked for a SFT and when I mentioned that my block was tubed he said he would not recommend using a SFT because splash oiling was not reliable enough.

I do it. On a street strip engine. With .620 gross and .606/.604 net lift.

You can do it. Just do let it idle at 600 and buy a good oil.
