Oil system myths

I lost a couple of factory 340s when the oil-level was a quart low.
So
on my 367, I installed a 7 qt road-race pan, and a HV pump, and did all the oiling mods except the crossover. The first time I took the Valve covers off, and saw all the oil up there that the Eddies were retaining; I had thoughts. And when I removed the Airgap, and saw all the oil puddling between the lifters, I had more thoughts.
So, that winter, having swapped the engine out for a 318 winter engine, I set to cutting channels and drilling drain holes.
The following winter, swapping engines out again, I saw the the channels could be deeper and the holes bigger.
The third winter, I saw that the topend was now fairly dry and the pockets empty. So I now run 5 or 6 quarts in the pan, getting the oil a bit further from the crank, being confident that the oil is getting back to the pan as fast as the design allows.
And I haven't seen any damage inside the engine at all, traceable to lack of oil.

Just so you know, I one-time entered the car in a grass rally cross event. It was a second gear only track for me, spinning the street tires the whole 64 seconds. All I did was steer, with the engine more or less on the rev-limiter.
As I crossed the finish line, I noticed a huge oil-cloud following me. Which I traced to the PCV system. Apparently, the baffles and filters in the Covers couldn't deal with high rpm for 64 seconds atta time.
Also, the oil-filter had blown off the plate, and puked oil onto the header. That, I fixed by installing a second plate, and drilling more and bigger holes, and switching to a retaining bolt with a round hole and drilling that out bigger as well. It never did it again.

So, I know a lot has been said about the Mopar oil system not being able to suck the pan dry, and I cannot argue that yes it can...... but I do know that the stock Eddies don't drain fast enough to run 6 or 7 quarts in the pan and spin 5000 to 7000 for 64 seconds.
No, I didn't win,lol, I was 5 seconds off the fastest time, of a prepared car.
I know it sounds cheezy, but I was just there, with my 16 year old son, to have fun, and give the locals something to talk about. I had the biggest barge there and, I think probably the only V8.
And we did have a lotta fun. Nothing broke and we left thru the same gate we drove in thru. Well not quite true; I cracked the pan when landing a jump on the home straight, which was there to slow the cars down. I saw it too late and the crowd loved it. After trying unsuccessfully twice to braze the crackss shut, I dropped the pan and had it professionally welded; no more problems.
And then I fabricated a skid-plate.....
