Default Re: New Pure Stock car added to the team

A real problem with the hemis was the oiling. The pump can empty the contents of the oil pan into the valve covers a lot faster than the single drain back holes in the back of the head can feed the oil back down to the pan. (And under acceleration the only drainbacks available will be the rear drain holes). Also the 66-69 pans held at least a quart less oil than the 70-71 pans. If you have to go with a stock pan I'd upgrade to the 70-71 style and get a lower volume pump.
