If you just couldn't do oil mods, what's an alternative?

Pretty well got it covered with the full groove bearings and a 1/2 inch pickup. But I do recommend doing what mods you feel comfortable with. A windage tray and baffling the pan are always good. Are you going to be running 1/4 mile and are you planning on a hydraulic cam? Like has been said before, the real shortcomings appear on the suction side of the oil pump. If I made any single big ticket upgrade to the oiling system in a bracket car (and it's one I'd be eyeballing if I were building a stroker), it would be a Milodon single line oil system and pan. Not saying that it's necessary, but it wouldn't hurt anything either.

I do have a few spare windage trays, so I plan on running one with the girdle. Yep 1/4 mile, but running a solid flat tappet.

I'll check the bulletin and see what you guys are referring to on the inlet of the pump.

Thanks for the pointers.
