Thanks for the input.

Specifically-it will make more heat to reject than a hydraulic 428. It will never run cool for 'street use'. Also, depending how much cam it has it will idle around 1100 and not happily. It won't loaf along in traffic without a lot of temperament. It's not an LS Vette with AC. There is nothing to like below 3500RPM for your use. How much power did the builder show you it made?
A hydraulic roller top oiler will make excellent torque for what you want without temperament-you don't need side-oiling -why spend for it?
