I would reconsider the oiling mod. Several of the well know engine builders recommend the oiling restriction to the rockers. Running a stock pump may not be a an issue, but with a HV pump that changes. Some go as far as drilling the block and tapping the oil feed hole for an allen screw with the desired feed hole. Easier is the rod with a hole drilled in it, Easier yet and another common practice are Holley jets with the desired hole size dropped in the head oil feed hole. I've seen recommended the oil hole size in the rods & jets from .060" to .110"
Jay Brown's Book: The GREAT FE INTAKE COMPARO shows he used .070" restrictors in all his Dyno Mules
Barry Rabotnick's Book: HOW TO BUILD MAX-PERFORMANCE FORD FE ENGINES has a section on the oil restriction mod.
If this is a performance engine, and your going to pulling from 6,000 to 7,000 rpm, a HV pump will pump a lot of oil into the heads without any restriction, starving the bottom end for oil, which is what happened to me loosing a rod bearing.Richard
