Re: 59AB valve train questions
All of the parts you list or any combination of should work fine in your engine.

Re: The new Burtz Mosel A engine
I like the Dan Price oil pump for a wet sump engine. It has a built in adjustable, calibrated by-pass valve. No mods needed to install.

Re: Model A or B block relieved like V8
For sure, blowers are cheap hp but most vintage racing rules do not allow blowers. Exception, LSR.
