Re: oil pumps
Really, there is nothing wrong with either the oiling system ot heads for anything but an all out racing application.
Check out:
http://www.doveengineparts.com/documents/26.html and follow the "Insights Into The Ford FE" and "Tip's On Building An FE" links.
Also gess ford machine did at one time have a great article on the oiling suystem... but I'm having trouble finding it...

Re: oil pumps
this is just what a family member told me, he was refering to the oiling system and high rpms for long durations.
that sight has some good historical info too, i learned even more about the 427 then i ever knew,
and from what im understanding, its not the pumps, its the passageways.

Re: oil pumps
The old gess ford machne article did explain how to modify the oil pump passage.
Assuming we are talking about a a street engine with normal clearances I would probably just go with a standard pump a good oil pan and some #90 jets in the head passages.
