Oil shooting out of your dipstick can't be a good thing.
it's coming out the breather as well.
knocking noise from the lower end at 40mph accompanies this.

Possibly a 408 stroker kit.

sounds about like me 2 years ago. turned into not just an engine rebuild for me. Got the whole car taken apart. With a brand new handbuilt interior just about finished up. and a nice 347 stroker on the engine stand.
