I'm going to say, no, I'd look at a 72x30x24 (LxWxD) or even a 72x30x30 to keep the eel happy. and in the tank As for the filtration, add another fx4 and do weekly 20% water changes. Big fish poop a lot!

The moray eel should not be put in aquarium with 2 Oscars. Moray eels have poor eye sight. Oscars will scarf up food in a blink of a eye. Will out compete moray eel for food. Over feeding would be all bad with messy large bioload Oscars.
Moray needs rocks and pipes structures to help them feel safe. You can't do that in with Oscars because they move rocks around so could possibly crack your aquarium.

My oscars are slower when it comes to feeding time the catfish usually gets it faster
