The rest of the motor seems fine, outside from some oil burning that seems to come and go.. probably track related. I need to finish the V8 car so I can park this thing. :)

Subject: Re: Low oil Pressure - any gains to swapping oil pump during tranny swap?
Wally,
I think the question to ask yourself is if you sure that the rest of the
motor is healthy (at least based on my personal experience with a
similar problem).
I pulled the oil pan to replace the leaking oil pump seal on my 1.6 car,
which means dropping the subframe if the engine is to remain in place.
If by easier during a transmission swap you mean pulling the entire
motor with transmission to do it outside the car, then yes, it would be
easier to do the oil pump at the same time. :)
In my case, when I pulled the pump, I took it apart and checked the
specs. Everything was in spec. The motor was headed south because of
something else (as of yet undetermined because I haven't taken it
apart). It ended up burning most of the oil in the sump in 1000 miles
(without much evidence of where it was going) and spun a bearing.
That's just a data point/food for thought for you, not necessarily what
your problem will end up being...
