Tim Meyer a ?
Do you recommend your oiling conversion on all 351m/400's when rebuilding? Or just ones that will see higher RPM's? Were just starting a stock 400 rebuild with just an RV cam and 4 barrel carb,no headers yet, but maybe later, its only gonna pull an alum fishing boat and maybe some 2x4 lumber at times and thats it. THANKS.

Hopefully Tim will chime in and give the official answer, but I'm confident he will say it should be done for all of these engines. We have talked about the mod quite a bit and that is certainly the impression I got.
And, while you are waiting, here's a thread on the oiling system that should help understand the system and Tim's mod, as well as others.

Yup, better listen to Gary. He has learned well.
We do and suggest doing this to all engines.
Bone stock to wild and crazy.
To simple not to do.

But the oiling mod surely helps longevity. At hot idle both of my M's have/had 15 psi of oil pressure and some valve train noise. Knowing that the oil pressure is being sampled before the run up the driver's side gallery past the lifters, I can only assume that means there's little, if any, oil getting to the #5 lifters. And that can't be good for longevity.

dropped of the papper work this morning, he has herd of doing this to the oiling system and said not a problem doing it this way and seemed to be impressed. He knows all to well about the external line that guys have run but likes Tim's method a lot better,so im a happy camper. Also if you read this Tim, hopfully soon the Doctors will be able to figure out my hearing issues and i feel comfortable enough to call you,i do want to order a couple things for sure. THANKS again to all that helped,Gary.
