Title: 460 ford
Post by: coggy on April 23, 2011, 01:05:17 AM

i just installed a rebuilt 460 ford and it runs and sounds awesome but heres the trouble when i am excellerating oil pressure is 40psi at 3000 rpms then if i stab it and it revs to 4000rpms the oil pressure drops fast to 15psi. then if i excellerate slowly from 3000 to 4000 the pressure stays at 40psi just wondering if thats normal? I dont think it is I would appreciate any input on this thanks

Thats not normal, running out of oil, do yourself a favor get the poor mans dry sump, a oil accumulator it wil help your situation.
