So was watching a episode of “Roadkill” and they had purchased a old mazda pickup truck with a 455 in the bed of the truck. If you’ve ever watch the show, these Frankenstein vehicles are the basis of show. Anyhow one of the host commented that he was not excited about the 455, said it was one of the worst engines. Called it a boat anchor. I did some research and found some criticism on the way it leaves the bottom end of the engine dry of oil when run at high rpm for duration of time. What do you guys do to help manage this?

Thanks,
TG
