...If it's the height of the pump body adding to the problem, would a Melling H/V pump body (staying with your H/V plan) be shorter? Helping in the cover thickness problem also. If so, could you then bring the oil into the blocks front (out side) port entree.
...Or is the difference in heights between your pump & the Melling 63HV to little to help? 
thanks Jeff, do you have a Melling pump or the height measurement? or a Std H/V Hemi pump height measurement?
