It's a common known problem that you'll think you're fast when you swap one in

Common problem with the motor, they get stolen frequently are often placed into lesser vehicles.

If you plan on running the motor on the track, high lateral G's pull oil away from the pickup, invest in a baffled pan and an oil pressure gauge. Only B-series weakness.
