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

.
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.
A friend of mine bought a brand new crate motor small block this past summer. First time out to the track revving to 7500 trap speed he lost a rod bearing. Had a knock after the run.
