Rick,
I have no expirience with FE motors so maybe they are different animals however, I've built many, many small and big block Chevrolet motors (and 1 Windsor in my Cobra) and I've never seen a dry crankshaft in any motor no matter how long it has been sitting (even years). Built my first motor almost 40 years ago and raced plenty of them. Never had an oiling issue in any of them. We all have our own opinions based on our expirience.
