As an internet mechanic (ie lots of reading, no doing) working with a non-buick mechanic to re-assemble my motor (don't ask) we have now come to the timing cover and oil pump and are looking for some guidance.
The machinist, returned the motor with a high-volume oil pump kit. Given that this block has been redone does a high volume pump make sense?
My other question is given our lack of buick experience would we be better off buying a assembled cover such as as

?
Lastly I have found the excellent write ups on the front cover and oil pump on vortex-buicks.com but can't seem to find Earl Brown's cover/oil pump modification write up again... Anyone have a link to that or any other site that may help?
Thanks
