What weight oil are you currently using? Unless you're running excessive clearances and the narrow FE con-rods that's probably too much pressure. My SOHC hits 50 psi on the pre-luber and 40lbs at idle hot with 15w40. I'm using the high volume pump with high pressure spring in it; bypass spring in block comes in at about 85 psi with no shims. That's going to be a fun car when finished.
