Big Block Oiling System
|
|
|
FE SERIES
Ford’s “FE” series big-blocks went through the most extensive oiling system changes of any Ford
engine ever made. Most evident was the 427, which underwent significant changes throughout its
service life, leading to the “Side Oiler” design of 1965.
The 332/352/360/361/390/406/410/ 428 didn’t change much except for the distinct differences
between mechanical lifter and hydraulic lifter blocks. Hydraulic lifter blocks have twin oil galleries
drilled the length of the block to supply the lifters. Mechanical lifter blocks have the bosses at each
end of the block, but without the oil galleries.
The “FE” oiling system is simple in scope, with a sump-positioned oil pump and pickup centered at
the front of the pan. The oil pump is driven by the camshaft via a driveshaft tied into the distributor
shaft.

The “FE” oiling system took on a distinct change in the 427. The 427 block came two ways—Top
Oiler and Side Oiler. Most 427s were Top Oilers. Beginning in 1965, Ford’s concern over oil
starvation at the main and rod bearings led engineers to the conception of a whole new 427 block
casting called the “Side Oiler.” The Side Oiler had an additional oil gallery that ran down the left-
hand side of the block, feeding bountiful amounts of oil to the main and rod bearings.

All "FE" engines have a cast aluminum oil filter mount bolted to the side of the block
as shown on this 428 Cobra Jet. The oil pressure sending switch or sending unit
mounts on top. This is an oil pressure sender for a gauge, which is larger than an oil
pressure light switch.
|
|
|
|
Oiling system modifications for the “FE” are traditional hot rod steps. Chamfering the crankshaft
journal oil holes improves oil flow. Using a high volume oil pump increases flow. High pressure isn’t
always the answer. If you are maintaining 10 pounds of oil pressure for every 1,000rpm, your
engine should remain healthy. If you expect 7,500 rpms, then ensure your oiling system will
maintain 80 psi at high revs.

"If you are trying to mix and match cranks and rods, this book
will tell you if it can be done. If you are trying to find the correct
casting number for a Boss 429 distributor, this book will have it
listed. What we really find appealing about the book is that, not
only is it a perfect resource for those interested in factory
correct restorations, but it is equally as useful for the
performance oriented engine builder. Each chapter points out
building tips, such as how to improve a Cleveland's oiling
system, or what heads will yield the best horsepower gains. As
with all SA Design books, this one is filled with pages of detailed
photographs and diagrams. This book will prove to be a
priceless resource, as many of the original Ford V-8 parts
become harder and harder to come by." -- FORDMUSCLE
