I'm doing a rebuild shortly and I need to know what are some good bearings to get and what oil pump to get? Also what else needs to be replaced in the oiling system along with the pump?

Suggestions on main cap bearings, crank bearings, cam bearings, oil pump, other?

Brands, prices, size?

Thanks for any thoughts!

Clevite p series for the mains (590p) $26 and rods (634p) $25, cam bearings coated are the best but most reg bearings machine shops use will be fine, I believe the Clevite number is a 510 $26. ALL OF THE NUMBERS ABOVE ARE FOR STANDARD SIZE JOURNALS.

I like Melling pumps M68 is what you need, along with a FMS oil pump drive shaft.
 
So I'll get the oil pump driveshaft FMS-M-6605-B302 and the M68 pump (stock replacement melling). Now I just need numbers for .010 bearings for main and rods.
