Funny, on modern race engines oil is trapped in the top of engine and routed to the pan at the very rear or very front to keep the oil from attempting to pass through the rotating crankshaft assembly where most of it will churn in the crank and will cause drag and loss of power. And very little will make it to the pan anyway under hard accelleration. Ever look at a GM rocket block or a ritter small block mopar? Ideally, a dry sump would be best, with 3 scavenge lines in the pan and one in the valley. You don't see glyptol in a pro/stock or fuel engine. Waste your time if you want, I will trap the oil and let it return to the pan on coast or deceleration.
P-body, I would love to buy your car and put a flat tappet cam, strip the glyptol paint, freshin it up, put a Dana 60 in it and go run some 8.50s on gas.
I'll keep the paint in it...it does have a dry sump.. I will refresh it for who ever buys it.. and yes it would run 8.50 if I regrind the cam... but I wimped out on the cam the first time
