A guy w/ a nice SB Dart at the track talked to me about how Herb McCandless had stressed to him that the stock-ish oil system on his car needed some upgrades (baffled pan and I don't recall what else) to keep the bottom end happy.
If you haven't already given some serious thought to that, I'd say now's the right time. The other guy didn't take Herb too seriously at the time, and then told me later how he hurt the bottom end just like ol' Herb warned him would happen.
Hey, sometimes even free advice can actually have some value...
Yes sir,
I will heed your warning.
From reading up on some oiling mods the first thing that popped out to me is the pickup size (low pressure/suction side) and your right.
Keeping the pickup covered too.
I will weld in baffle and flair the sides of the pan while I'm at it.
After making the vid and showing my front 2 mains were worn through to the copper I originally thought it was the supercharger tugging on the crank.
After reading the oiling mods thread on moparchat I now think those front two were getting less oil than the rest.
I've decided to go e85 on this thing too so I'll have a safety barrier for detonation.
Most likely chunk the aftercooler in the corner though.
