I plan to build a 360 using a 1991 pre-Magnum roller cam block. This block has the oil passages drilled for the shaft mounted rocker arms on the LA cylinder heads I'm going to use. The block also has provisions for oiling through the pushrods like the Magnum engines. I'm also going to use a hydraulic roller cam & I've been told that I should disable one of the oiling systems to keep from sending too much oil to the top end. What's the best way to stop the extra oiling system? I was planning to use the LA heads & have them oiled through the block like normal. Can I stop the through-the-pushrod oiling by just using pushrods with solid ends (no oiling hole), or is there something else I should do?
I know I could probably avoid this issue by using Magnum heads, but this engine is going to have a six pack on it & I also have other LA parts I plan to use.
