Bruce, definitely old school. Maybe the new school says you can have lower oil pressure but I ship engines all over the country and I'm not taking a chance. If the engine is built correct and clearanced properly it should make good oil pressure. I normally use a stock pressure pump on all the windsors, peak oil is about 62psi @ 5500 and I think that's perfect. A proper operating oil pump and system should have at least a 25 to 30lb sweep from idle. If it doesn't I think there is something wrong and I find out why. Old school maybe, but I know my engines have longevity.
