Default Restricting oil to lifters on FE Ford

I am looking for some people that have spun their FE Ford at high RPM's and kept them alive. I am just going to be bracket racing it and street driving and hitting with a decent shot of nitrous and I want it to live.

I am running Morel solid roller lifters with pressure fed rollers so I do not want to completely block it. My thoughts are because the FE oils from the top down restricting this oil would force more oil into the mains and rods. How much are you restricting it? I already have the orifice in the head for the rockers and the oil passages in the block drilled. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Try contacting Line Performance
They spin their stuff pretty tight and it seems to stand up to it
Happy Motoring

See if you can get ahold of Blair Patrick. Blair does a ton of FE stuff, brackets stockers and super stockers. He’ll know for sure, and super nice guy to boot.

is the motor together or not? If its together , you can only restrict it by the head or change the restrictor holes in the lifter galley .
