My cammer is reproduced, it didn't have external drain backs anywhere. When it goes back together however it will have external drains on the rear of the heads and a -10 line to the front of the sump to help feed
oil back to the pump under hard acceleration. We are also modifying the oiling system at the front galleries in the heads with a squirter on each head to add more oiling to the chain set. Other modifications are custom pistons with the reference point moved upwards as the Shelby block sleeves are to short for a stroker if you want any longevity out of one of these (when the engine was originally built the pistons protruded out the bottom of the sleeve .450") we have also resleeved the block with sleeves that are .300" longer. Timing chain will also get some modifications to the guides to help take some of the whip out of the chain between the 2 heads.
