Oil "Use" Ford 427/535 Crate

Have about 20k miles on the motor, very minor oil seeps only, all 8 plugs light tan with timing and mixture tell tales all in the right place, no smoke, but she goes though oil? Maybe a qt every couple fuel tanks which sure seems like ALOT of oil...

I had oil burners in college and besides having to feed them oil the plugs were always black and gooey...Aside from having to add oil there are NO other tell tale signs of the thing either leaking oil, bad guide seals or leaky rings?

Made like 450 RWHP on the dyno...

A bit mystified?
