Default Over oiling cylinder head?

When we installed my ford racing 427/535 I mistakenly ordered the rear sump model, instead of repacking, shipping bac and waiting for the correct motor, we swapped my canton pan and melting hv oil pump onto the new motor.

I’ve been battling higher Han normal oil consumption. I’ve noticed that every time I remove the valve covers, everything seems just drenched in oil. I’m kind of wondering if the heads are being over oiled, bathing the valve guides and seals in standing oil?

Wondering if the oil pump that came with the engine might have pumped a bit less oil?

Thinking of cutting the top off an old valve cover and watching it run?
