I run a Canton Road Race oil pan and a Mocal sandwich type thermostat with -10 oil lines on my 351W. Fortunately, I have enough room to also use the standard oil filter rather than the FL-300 shorty. When the oil temp is below that required to open the thermostat I get 65 lbs. at idle using 10-40. I can tell when the thermostat opens because the pressure then drops to 58 lbs. at idle. I have run this setup for four years now with no concerns. The setup is simple and effective.
