Default 427 SO question

427 in a Contemporary. Has fantastic power, love it except for one thing.
Oil consumption. I've been in denial, so I don't have an exact number, but may be about 300 miles a quart. Yes, it drips a bit on the garage floor, but not that much. I decided to look at and replace the plugs tonight. There was what appeared to be wet oil on the threads of the plugs, but the electrodes
and insulators were all the same dry, tan to brown color. I'm not sure the dipstick is correct, what would happen if the oil level was a little high?
Any other thoughts? Thank you, Gene
