Before I finish assembling my solid roller cam roller rocker setup, how does the oil get to the rockers. I haven't ordered my push rods yet, are they to be hollow?

Chrysler has used a reverse oiling rocker to lifter set up for most of it's life building engines. Oil is fed to the rocker shaft which then transfers the oil down to the lifters.

look at the pic. you drill a hole down thru both head oiling holes and into the oil gallery on each side a little smaller then the tap for a small set screw. lock tight it in. next you can remove the #4 cm bearing and turn it upside down and reinstall it. then drill an 1/4" hole to feed the cam bearing,this way the #4main and #7&6 rods will not get starved of oil.
Here you go, When I get near a machine with a scanner I'll post a better quality pic.if someone has a B/RB engine oil system diagram please post it up!
What do you consider high RPM? I'm assembling the valvetrain on my 440 right now and I was not planning any mods to the oiling system/routing at all. I'm planning on spinning up to 6500 RPM.look closely at the pic in the lower right corner. that's to one head. when the cam passage rotates around to the bottom it sends oil to the other head. this takes oil away to the #4 main and to the #7&6 rods also. that is way they will starve at high rpm. if you look at the pic in the middle it shows one head being feed by the #2 cam bearing and this is WRONG. they are BOTH feed from the #4 cam journal on bb.
