Solid roller failed again

regarding flow rate, i have a crate engine 351/385 in one of the cars, and it uses -8 oil line, the pressure is read at the input on the front left side, it probably reads steady 40 lbs, less when hot. the oil is ran through the -8 lines, through an oil filter, through the oil cooler, and numerous 90 deg. bends. i don't know how this engine has survived, even hyd rollers, but it still runs fine. it is chipped to run to 6000rpm, and i haven't changed it for fear of tearing something up .

i guess i should have added, it could possibly take a lot less pressure to make an engine survive then believed. i could give a rats ass about the 90 deg bends or the filter restriciton, that was not the point, just part of the equation.
