<VV> Opinions - High Volume Oil Pump

[ChiefTAM@aol.com]

As many of you know, I am getting into (hopefully) the final stages of  
getting my 69 Monza Convertible back on the road.  Short history, car  turned 
50,000 miles on it bringing it to Texas from Minnesota in April of last  year, 
never had a problem till then.  Engine ended up with 2 broken piston  rings.  
Fixed those, and then had the new rod bearing go bad in about 60  miles, taking 
out the crank and leading to a complete rebuild of the  engine.
 
Now are ordering mucho dollars in new internal parts, and having the heads  
gone through to alter the compression ratio to fit the new flat-top pistons 
with  the 69 smog heads.  
 
One of the parts we are going to put in is a new oil pump.  When I  purchased 
my 65 Turbo Convertible about 6 years ago, I got with it a bunch of  new and 
NOS parts, including a new Clarks high volume oil pump.  
 
The engine we are building for the 69 is the stock 110, trying to make it a  
good streetable engine with an Isky cam that is just a little more than  
stock.  Just a good drivable engine.  What would the plusses and  minuses of 
putting the high volume oil pump in this engine.  I know that an  oil pump isn't 
expensive, but when you can save anywhere while spending over  $2,000 on an 
engine, I would just as soon do that.  I just don't want to do  anything 
detrimental to the engine over the long term.
 
Thanks for the input.
