Is drilling and tapping the oil pickup boss to 1/2" still a common practice on street/strip 440's?

No It was and is a bandaid to help correct other things in the oiling system Get the bearing clearnances right, not to tight, get the pressures and flows correct and use the correct modern oils, not to thick You'll be golden Oil needs to flow to do what it is designed to do, lubricate and cool the contact surfaces on rotating and recriprecating (SP?) parts



At what performance level is an external pickup considered mandatory? What is the best external setup?
