You'll also need a gasket for the pump to the block. An oil pump gasket kit will likely have everything you need.

The quick and easy fix is an external rocker arm oiling kit. I doubt anybody currently produces them but they do show up on Ebay.

Steve.  What weight oil?  Even when cold, a light weight oil should indicate a reasonably good oil pressure though.  I suspect you’ve got enough bearing wear to support a rebuild and pulling a main and rod bearing cap would be a quick check for this.  An overhead oiler might be a bandaid fix for the short term assuming there’s enough oil pressure to get the oil through an overhead oiler line going to the top of the engine.
