436 stroked and bored

stroke/bore

shop who built your setup(not NEEDED, optional)
average miles driven
average oil consumed
smoke... decel/accel etc etc
Just looking to see if different setups eat more oil than others and determine any trend in possible causes.
Thanks guys!!

4.00 stroke/ 3.905 bore
LSX 90
TEA ported AFR castings
TSP< I am the second owner. Also, previous owner installed LSX 90, AFR/TEA heads
First month I had it I put 5k miles on it. Now, about 250 a month.
Consumes about a qt every 1k miles with lots of oil in the catch can. I also pulled the LSX and there was oil in the ports.
Never really noticed any smoke.

Mine uses more than it should. No, I dont see any blue smoke when it runs. No oil leaks can be found either.
I believe most use more than non strokers. Talking to engine builders leaves me to believe its more of the norm than the exception. I had mine to a shop yesterday where we discussed this issue.
I think a winter time purchase will be an A&A vacuum pump. I may try a catch can to keep the oil of of the intake in the mean time.
JMHO
