sspano01,
You might get some insight here into oil-related failures for the 460.
Experience with other Ford engines may or may not be relevant...
Accusump E.C.P valve or Manual?
That said, I've watched mod motors, FEs, small blocks and other 385 series engines fail at places like Sebring where there are long sweeping turns keeping oil pressure at or near zero for many seconds. Accusump keeps mine going there.
You may think that changing pans (without adding an Accusump or dry sump) will prevent this kind of failure - if so, I sincerely hope you are correct. My experience says there's still a very significant risk.
