Starting to get into the details, complete rebuild this winter.

Thanks for all the insight.

@ 7.5 to 1 you must mean raise compression...

310 hours and still run the same based on top speed of boat hasn't lessened.
WOT oil pressure 38PSI@170F@5350RPM for 10 minutes+ freaked me out but 310 hours later I guess it works and it's easier on the distributor gear.

that oil pressure never scared you? Mines like that and I getting a HF/HV oil pump put in and a new 10 qt pan with a crank scrapper with a built in windage screen.

It freaked me out too. I put another gauge on, same thing. Pulled engine and checked pump, good. Ran a quart low and a quart over, same. 300 hours later, many of them at 5K+RPM, still the same. Hot oil after running WOT for an extended time and returning to idle, 32PSI. Both engines.
Kendall 20-50, Wix and/or Quicksilver filters, 160-170max oil temp w/stock cooler.
Water pressure is 12-18# on one engine and 16-22# on the other.
What kind of temps are created just by pumping oil at higher pressure? Not to mention heat created at the cam/dis gears from the extra work load.
Low pressures and temps, and high hours must mean good flow.
Hey, whatever works.

Id do the EFI Whipples if its in the budget should fit under the hatch with no mods. I did this this last winter
