I raced a Super Stock Duster back in 1973. I had my block modified by the Ramchargers in Detroit with the copper tubes installed and drilled. I ran my engine to 7,600 rpm. After a few seasons, my bearings looked like brand new. Absolutely no scratches or scuffs. Rods and mains. Best way to modify your LA engines. My car was the National Record Holder in HA/2 AHRA. Good luck with your racing.

I hope it works out as well for me as it did for you.

You got it covered pretty good. Your eliminating 16 oil leaks and turning it into a priority main oiling block. If your running pushrod oiling bush the lifter bores idc what anyone says it's the only way 💯. The tubes will wear out and eventually leak again. I just bush everything myself but it's a cost thing. I went 8 years 1000s of laps on my last engine between rebuilds. Before you put it back together work on oil drainback and keeping it from draining back onto the crank. That's probably the most time consuming mod I do seems to help the most. Don't listen to the drag racers at all they don't live in the same world. Focus on keeping the oil where it belongs along with the rest of the mods you covered 👌

Where I screwed up on my magnum block was having the oil return onto the crank so I’ll resolve that before it goes together. Yea it is funny how the drag guys talk about going through the traps at 7000 rpm.

I think you need the direct port injection the curry losi needs a fast nitro motor

Hey, I did a couple mopar small block oil system mod videos on my channel. Feel free to look em over. The playlist is Jon's 360 Slightly different than your mods but I am familiar with your mods as well. Best of luck!

@@beckbuilt3209 thank you very much. I've wanted to do the lifter gallery tube sleeves you're doing but didn't feel the need for my hp and rpm levels. But I think I'll be doing them in conjunction with the cross over tube system I use. They say, the more oil control you can do, the better it'll live. Good work man 🤘🏼

You should show drilling the rear main cap to 1/2" feom where you chamfered the inlet hole. I run the 1/2" bit down those oil filter feed and return lines. I also prefer using lifter bushings to the tube set-up. It does cost money, but it solves a lot of problems. Use a fully fluted drill bit if possible when drilling those main feeds. The chips can stack up on a partial fluted bit. Ask me how I know. I have an R1 block with 3" of 5/16" drill bit broke off inside. You will want to clean the devil out of your block before assembly. I use a mixture of solvent and penetrating oil, so the block doesn't flash rust on me. I have the Goodson engine brush kit that allows me to clean EVERY passage in the block. I rinse it with the solvent and oil mixture after I run the brushes. Good job on the basics of oiling mods. Jody Cash has videos on the tubing also that you might want to watch.

Another really good oiling mod is to take the galley plug out directly in front of the distributor drive and put a 020 hole in the center of it and put it back in that will pressurize oil directly on the distributor drive gear and if you're running a high volume oil pump it will definitely keep the life and wear to an absolute minimum on the cam gear and distributor drive.

With this setup that would be impossible, I don’t see a lot of wear on distributor gears so I would not create another leak for that.

Man i am too chicken to drill on my block..

There’s plenty of them out there, if you mess up you’ll learn from it.

A letter K drill bit is .281 . I don’t know where they’re getting .283 ?

Yea I thought it was very odd, had me scratching my head

If you don't increase the main galley from the filter, non of your mods will matter.

You are 100% incorrect, if you fix holes in a hose you don’t get more water at the end of the hose?
