    Default properly prepped iron eagle for wet sump

    could someone post pics of what the lifter valley oil returns in a properly prepped iron eagle block should look like? have been fighting oil pressure issues with my 4.185''x4'' sbc since day one. mainly in the higher rpm ranges..the pressure tends to fall. heading to the shop now to check for proper oil restrictor placement but i am almost certain that this thing needs more work in the return area.

    ok sooo this thing has .090 restrictors in the rear. from what research i have done on my own....this is incorrect on a wetsump for this block? still think that this block should at least have as many oil return holes as the stock 350 block we have laying here.

    Looks like they are saying you need 3 1/2in holes down the center of the valley.

    Also like you have read online they are suggesting not running restrictors and then using a standard volume pump. Not sure how many holes you have but from reading that second link i would think if you are running high volume pump and restictors and already have those 3 holes down the center of the valley then if you changed to the standard volume pump and take out the restrictors it may solve the problem.
