Question Motor for Superformance ???

After searching through many threads, it looks as though a 351 W stroked to 427 isn't the best motor for street use and every so often at the track. I would be using it for just that and am concerned that pushed hard for an extended period of time on the track (Willow - turns 2 & 8) the engine would have problems.
Coast High Performance is telling me that to use it on the track I need an electric oiling system ($2000). Wouldn't a good Canton baffled road race oil pan be enough to keep the engine properly oiled during high conering G's ?? (I'll be running slicks).

Also, I am hearing that a 351 W stroked [to 427] isn't a reliable powerplant and will develop problems (rod angle). Would a 408 be better ?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

PS - Anyone have any experience with P.I. Motorsports in the city of Orange ?
