I hear alot of guys saying to put them in a 351C or the motor will blow up. I realize the cleavlands have a problem with filling up the valve covers and thereby starving the mains. Doesnt this only happen with extremely high RPM usage? I never installed any restrictors so if it truly turns out to be something I should have done. What could I do to get some more oil down to the mains? the engine uses 2V heads so I dont think ill ever have the motor any higher than 5500-6000 rpm at any given time.

The restrictors are nice, but if you are only going to 6000rpm you will probably be OK.------------------
