I run a 392 stroker crate engine and when I lay into it from the dead and hit 3rd, my
oil pressure plummets down to 20 psi and I then depress the clutch and kill the engine. Within seconds, I can restart the engine and the pressure returns to 45 psi. I thought it was starving for
oil so I had a larger pickup installed and it's 1/2" from the bottom of my Canton 7qt pan. It didn't make a difference and neither did the Melling hi volume pump I had installed. It seems that the new 392 crate motors are running 60-70 psi which is a lot higher than the engine I bought 18 months ago which never got above 45 psi. I know of (2) engines that were returned to Ford for the fix and their pressures now read 60 psi. I have tried to find out what their cure was and I can't get anywhere with them. Has anyone had this problem or recommend a fix ??? I would appreciate any input. Thanks John
