Not really, IMHO.... A neon guy blew up his 2.4 turbo swap in his car just by running sticky street tires and driving a bit spirited into some freeway onramps. The forces todays contemporary tires street can generate can equal yesterdays race tires. Those same forces can and will pull the oil away from your pickup and it doesn't take too long before you need new bearings or worse a new bottom end.
I guess the point is, that unless you are just driving it slowly like the rest of the slobs on the road, then don't bother. If you're out there enjoying some corner carving, then put them in. The crank scraper frees up some HP, reduces oil foaming and increases the oil's longevity. Sounds like a great deal to me....

Only the 2.5 common block cars got that. I would strongly suggest a crank scraper and/or windage tray be installed along with some sort of baffling in the oil pan. Some simple baffles are cheap/easy to make and install. my 2.2 tbi common block I used for a buildup had em as well as my buddies 90 shelby daytona.. crank scraper and baffel is a bit of an overkill unless your looking to do some sort of club racing.. just a thought..
