Default 460 oil pressure eye-opener!

Here's a link to a thread in the 460ford web site's Jon Kaase forum:

http://www.460ford.com/forum/showthread.php?t=145132

If you have a 460, you probably are aware of (Engine Masters winner, BBF and RBBBF (really big bbf builder) ) Jon Kaase.

If you follow this forum, you probably are aware of oil pressure problems with some of the 500+ cubic inch 385 series Cobras in road race situations.

You probably also are aware that the Canton road race pan for the 460 doesn't work! Oil pressure drops drastically in turns.
An Accusump (luckily, Canton makes the Accusump - imagine that ) is often necessary to keep oil pressure up when road racing the 385 series.

Anyway, read the whole thread, contribute your experiences, and see if there can be a good solution to this problem.
