With the help of my brother, I rebuilt a Slant 6 in a 1983 Dodge D150 with an Overdrive4 transmission. We hooked up an oil pressure gauge to the external oil pump and I saw over 50PSI at idle. This engine is at it's last build as it's bored over .060 and the cylinder head milled at .090 to raise its performance, all the while keeping reliability. I think now the engine's displacement is 232 from the original 225. Use a portable pressure gauge with the right fittings to do this test if you don't have a gauge on the dash.
Hope this helps.
