I've never blown up an AMC going around corners with a wet sump pan.

Penske racing blew up Traco built AMC engines back in 1970. Tha was before Traco figured it out and SCCA allowed dry sump oiling.

Hurst390 do you run a pan with more volume, something like the Canton road race/street oil pan, or if you have something you made can you describe it?

Are those oil drain back lines from the valve covers
On the drivers side of the oil pan? We use to run those along with a Similar home made oil pan on a IMSA hornet before going to a sump system.

This is just a drawing I know, and rotated into position in PowerPoint to create this image,
but it gives some general idea of the amount of slope in the stock cyl head oil drain back holes and just how shallow, or just how little slope, there actually is in those drainback passages. I'm fairly confident this is correct, 45 deg block deck surface, cyl head drawing oriented as-if on block.  Edited by PHAT69AMX - Nov/01/2019 at 12:36pm |

( Full Groove front most cam bearing and or journal !) All front cam bearings had a grove in them The early camshafts ( 66 early 68 ) did not have a grove in the front cam journal. The first couple yrs. they had a lube problem with the Cam and Dist. gears. There was a Field Fix from the dealers to tee a oil line from the pressure switch to the front cover to get more lube to the gears. All 68 and up cams had a grove in the front journal. NOW 50 plus yrs. later there is a mix of flat tappet cams that do not have the front journal grove. All of the roller cams I've seen DO NOT have the grove.
