My take on the oiling system crossover tube for the small block

RustyRatRod said

Not being negative here, but I've always wondered about that intake valley crossover. Whether it was really needed. Reason I wonder is because I've seen some REALLY fast small blocks without it. Lord knows I ain't smart enough to know all the answers, but I've always wondered if all of those fancy modes were really necessary.

I agree with you there are some fast small blocks out there that do not have that crossover done to them. But I can also remember a lot of those very same cars sitting out beside or behind the shops because they put a rod out.
He's wanting to turbocharge and supercharge this motor so he's not going to have a standard need for oil pressure. He's going to be working it. So my thinking is he needs to go for all the gust o to have this thing live long and prosper.
