I installed a high volume oil pump when I assembled my 351C awhile back. It shows 30 lbs hot at idle and 50 lbs at cruise speed. When I am on the throttle it pegs at 60lbs. Sounds good to me. However, my problem is that the lifters apear to be pumping up at about 5200 rpm's. Now, I have been all over this before with the fuel pump pressure, carb floats, timing, and all that. I am sure that the lifter pumping up is the problem. My question is, should I simlpy install anti-pump up lifters or should I install a stock presure oil pump. Keep in mind that this is a 351C and they have a bad rep for oiling problems. But I may have to much oil pressure at full throttle. I also run an 8 qt. Canton oil pan.......Bob
