Was the OP talking about the new hemi or LS? Neither was I.
I've been doing this since 1980 and NEVER EVER broke a distributor drive. And I've run up to 120 pounds of oil pressure.
The reason they moved the pump was because it was CHEAPER.
As for oil timing to the rods...it's settled engineering. Done and DONE. Unless you want to show me an engine other then a mopar with the oil timing off and turning 8000 plus then you can say something.
So, you don't know ****. The system I used worked. It will still work. If you can't figure out why you have to cross drill the crank that's on you.
Now go away with your bullshit. Just another low RPM fence leaner.
