ive never noticed any difference in pressure. a lot depends on your bearing clearances and any oiling modifications done to the block and/or pump.

Main's are.003 and the rod's are .0028 rod side clearance is .032 if I remember correct, all oiling passages have been opened up, crossover tube in the lifter valley and block tapped and modifyed at the oil filter area for remote filter.

Ive never ran full grove but last year when I put my motor back together I put the 3/4 grove in. 120M bearings. Oil pressure was the same. I will know more next time I tear it apart.

dartman366 i am going to do the mods to the block for the remote oil filter.i liked the photos you posted on that. what is the idea of the lifter tube mod. I have heard of it being done but never seen what it looks like or what it helps.is it related to rpm.i am running a 360 .040 over with solid cam.always looking for things that help it live longer. thanks Brad

you block off the passage from the no. 1 main that go's up to the driver side galley and put the crossover tube in to feed that galley, help's to prevent oil starvation to the no. 1 main, if I get a chance I will try and find the pic that show's the tube I put in.
