Don't compare bearing clearances or
oil pressure needs between the FE and other engines...the FE, with it's large connectiong rod bearings, requires special attention.
MaSnaka, a look under the intake to check for an internal
oil leak might be wise. You can spin the oil pump shaft (I use a bare distributor shaft) once the intake is removed. If you do decide to "just run it", I personally wouldn't do much spirited driving; you're likely to end up with a pile of rubble. As mentioned before, all any of us can do is give advice based on our own experiences; the final call is yours.
