Change to HV oil pump - your thoughts?

WARFARE said
I changed the valve seals after hot tanking, removed the valves and oiled them well. The machine shop checked that the heads were square. The heads have been off before, not sure why (single owner/little old lady)but the machinist indicated that the old gaskets were very crappy in there day. No longer sold apparently. I replaced them with Fel-Pro.

I have no specific reason to change to a HV pump. Just wasn't sure if it would be beneficial.

I noticed lower oil pressure on the guage before (not sure the figure)but I think it might be the guage or sender. Seamed to get lots of oil at the top end.

Thought while I have the pan off changing the gasket I would change the pump.

A little bit bigger cam with a modern grind, combined with some time spent gasket matching the intake and exhaust along with smoothing the bowls and a high quality valve job would be money and time will-spent, block the heat crossover and toss a set of Summit headers. If there is a ridge in the cylinder, bore it and have it honed to the next size. More money, but how many times are you gong to rebuild this? A fully rebuilt motor may cost a bit more initially, but its a lot cheaper than a new car payment for 5 to 7 years.
