For a street engine I'd stay away from the external oiling. External oiling is just a constant source of frustration on a street car. You don't even need the 1/2 inch NPT internal oiling on a street car but it might be a good idea on a race engine.

TF 240 heads are good and if you get the correct HR cam then you'll be golden. EFI is a very good choice. Either FAST or the Holley Sniper if you're going throttle body.


Why is that?


Yeah I would like to know why also? I've been running them on my cars for over 25 years, all on the street and never an issue. If anything more peace of mind knowing I'll never starve it for oil......
