I know that article. There was also a dyno shootout on a 383 I think in Car Craft or so. That is why I thought the Torker might be a good compromise.

Greets Flo No, you will have to grind a small amount off of the internal oil pickup boss to clear the #1 rod with or without the external or internal oil pickup I like to use the 1970/71 6 quart stock street hemi and 440 six pak oil pan with the stock 440 6 pak 3/8 pickup on the cars like ours, 1966 B bodys I ran that set up on my old pump gas Duster and never had a problem with oiling that motor on the street or at the track except letting it get a quart low once at the track and having the oil pressure drop after letting off at the 1/4 mile tracks, that was at 127+ MPH and above I used a stock Mopar windage tray with a home made crankshaft scaper also Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.
