just want some reassurance on combo choices

I'm ok with trying it, but I'm going to try some other easy stuff before. Not sure that would cure my problem, those BBC pumps move some oil. I'd think I'd run into the same issues.
It's been several years since Grumpy and me discussed.
Small Chevy Pump moves 6-7 gallons per minute.
Big Chevy around 9-10 or more.
Pontiac V8 no such thing as High volume option. Just 60 psi or 80 psi.
Moves around 11-13 gallons per minute.
Jim Butler modifies to move 19-21 gallons per minute.

I restrict all 16 lifter bores on a Pontiac V8.
Done with stainless set screws. Drilled .020 -.046 holes.
I run .046.
Still have 150 psi cold in past.
 
My oil mod for Pontiac V8 comes from HO Racing.
Actually done on Protype Pontiac engines 1969 RAV program. Pontiac had Solid Roller Cams ready to be installed into production cars.

That's why I don't think a BBC pump will do much for me

The engine will only use the oil volume it requires. It's like having a 40 gallon fuel cell gas tank instead of a 2 gallon fuel cell.
Engine takes in what it needs.
If you run short out of gas.
Engine oil supply Kaboom of course.

It really is Grumpys favorite engine a BBC.
NO DESIGN FLAWS IN IT. ANYWHERE.

It's a solid pump for sure

Yes.
I would choose the Standard Volume Big Block Chevy Oil Pump with the correct pickup to match the depth of your Moroso racing oil pan.
Has more spur teeth on each gear. Eliminate Ignition spark scatter issues.

Those Melling Helix spiral gears have been nothing but problems for SBC Chevy Guys.
Mike can chime in later when he is around.
Taken from 1955-1959 Pontiac V8 early engines. Gears are taller by far in a pontiac V8 vs SBC why it puts out more oil volume.
Need it because main journals Diameter are much bigger in a Pontiac V8 & rod journals diameter too.
Excess is discharged through the oil pump bypass valve.
 
Grumpy has nice pictures to add feeder grooves in the bottom cover. Do it yourself.
Or buy from Moroso...costs money because they ball milled it in for you.

I didn't go with the shark tooth gears on the pump
