Most racing oils still contain the proper amount of ZDPP in their blend. As long as you don't have a leaky POS, you can run that and be fine with a flat tappet.
A leaky POS would get expensive to run royal purple or valvoline racing oil in/through.
However, if you like to run plain old oil or Rotella, which is what I run in my sixer, you'll need to add in an additive or convert to rollers.
I've been really curious as to what I could get out of my 3.8 without a turbo and all that. But, the thing that kills me is the mileage. I could get better mileage with a V8 and power. So, I"m on the fence.
Today at the pullapart junkyard I found a 4.1 and a Cad 500. I'm torn.
