By now you've realized I'm A Cleveland lover and big fan of Jack Roush.

My bible of sorts is the Pat Ganahl book  "Ford Performance".

There are a bunch of mods guys did on the oiling or the restricting of it for pro stock racing.

Jack says he used the Moroso kit to good effect and didn't need more but other guys went further.

Drilling and tapping into the oil galleys to restrict flow to the lifters etc.

What opinions do you Ford guys have on these applications for LSR?.

Thanks in advance.

My bible of sorts is the Pat Ganahl book  "Ford Performance".

The thing about that book that always made me scratch my head is that, as far as I could tell, when he wrote it, he had never owned a Ford engine.   

Maybe one of his friends knows?

Mike --

I believe that his pickup (partial, far right) has a Ford in it.  He's owned it for many years.

Mike, I've built a Ford or two.... The Cleveland needs help getting/keeping oil to the main bearings then the rods. So the oil restrictors to the cam bearings is a must. I used a .060 orifice.

He published the book in '81.  My (so-called) memory is vague, but I'm pretty sure the '56 came years later.  In any case, this is a silly digression.

End hijack!

I'e used the Moroso restrictors in my other motors. Should I go to the other mod in the vallley pan as well?.

We used to run Clevelands wide open in the "Bridge to Bridge" boat race in Aus with restrictors & no plumbing mods & a wet sump. Do a tear down & inspection then run the ski version of the same race. A total of more than 3 1/2 hrs on boost running wide open.
I built my own pans with crank scraper & windage tray. You cant feed the crank if the oil is in the valve covers.

I never have BUT the reason the mods are made is because the main oil galley is also the lifter galley on one side of the engine. If you have a valve train failure and a lifter should come out of its bore you will lose oil pressure to the main bearings. The same is true if the lifter to lifter bore clearance is excessive, you will have a leak that will diminish oil pressure to the mains down the line.

The Australian fix was to bore the galley & press a tube down it with restrictor holes to the lifter bores.

I think with a little help from my "friends" I'll figure it out.
Thanks Dynoroom and Sid.

This roller coaster is book worthy, not because of the technology involved but more on the experience of all that's been happening.
I've knocked on so many sponsors doors I actually recognize the people on the street.
2000 emails give or take. Fishing on a very bad day if you like. No bites.
All of a sudden the boat is starting to fill up.

I caught two Marlin in one day. .
No details of who or what but they're local agencies of multinationals.
The "risk averse" virus is dying.
This time I'm getting pen to paper to go with the handshakes.

The one dude is even married to my cousin but he still hasn't come around. I'll get him this week or we won't be going to family reunions anymore.

  Mike,  There needs to be a like button on here for your posts. Also you need to set up a PayPal donate thing so that your worldwide friends and "silent" sponsors can help. too.
