Default Re: Cost to Build the "New Engine"

Read the information on modifying the oil pump for better oil flow. How much of the mods are really necessary for a stock engine? Maybe opening the oil exit holes to the larger size would be of benefit because the new oil pump I just purchased has two slots about 1/8" by 1/4" on each side. These look inadequate to me. I have access to a lathe to turn down the shaft to the smaller diameter, but is it necessary if no other mods are done to the lower chamber. I have built high performance Olds engines with modified oiling that are necessary for performance but stock engines do not need the same modifications. Is this true for Model A engines.
