Well,now I see the problem right off,you'll's is using them big old lumps of cast iron (FE) for powering your cars!!!!!!!!!!!

Switch to a small block and get rid of all your oiling problems!!!!!!!!!

Serouisly,I have no idea why this would happen to the big blocks, only possible thing I can think of is the depth of the pan, maybe just too shallow?????
