A hydraulic roller top oiler will make excellent torque for what you want without temperament-you don't need side-oiling -why spend for it?
Builder said it made approx 550hp. Well, this was NOT what I wanted to hear but it seems this may not be the car for me. The sound of this engine was just music to my ears.
