Ok finally got the car together! I can smell fuel inside the oil. I have areomotive regulator at 40 psi 30#injectors. I dont think the fuel pressure is to high. I have new plugs in it just regular motorcraft plugs. I just want to get the little things out the way before I take it an get it tuned. Any point in the right direction would be great. Oh and the oil pressure drops to about 30 after warming up.

30# injectors and what method of tune?
Have you pulled codes?
What's your air/fuel ratio?
What's your timing set at?
How does the car run? Well? Poorly? Under what circumstances?

Is this a brand new engine build? If so, I could see the oil having a slight gasoline smell due to blow by that probably occurred before the rings sealed. Have you drained your oil and looked at it?
