I want to explain a bit about my engine and then answer a couple questions. Ok, the engine is a "faux" Super CJ, 428 service block .030 over, Scat cast crank, Lemans rods, Probe SRS -16cc pistons, C6AE-R heads with CJ valves, CompCams EX274H cam, Milodon deep sump S/S style pan, street dominator intake, Holley 3310-1 carb, Hooker super comps. This engine is a story in itself which I plan on sharing in member rides section.
I have some older worn valve springs from a 360 that I could use for engine break in. I had an old crusty local FE guy tell me to "just lube it right and run the damn thing the way it is" with current springs installed. Lol. Also, I don't think I'll have an oil quantity issue with the pan I'm using. I will take all the precautions, water/cooling system, large floor fan, etc. I remember clearly that someone told me to do the three twenty minute run times, just not sure who? But, I don't disagree, I think if it makes the first twenty, I'm good.
Thanks for the great info guys! Been a long time since I've done anything with an FE and it's great having support!
