Clinton,

You should not have a problem with, not having enough oil at idle on an FE motor. You need to check the oil pump and the pressure relief system.
I have been putting restricters in the oil ports to stop over oiling and filling up the valve covers with oil.
The 427 will idle at 60 to 75 psi.
