In my opinion that engine must be torn down and gone through completely.Trash from the bearings could be anywhere waiting t tear something else up.
I would think the bearing wear would be from a piece of something lodged in the oiling hole blocking flow,hard to tell for sure without looking at everything.I would bet the crankshaft would at least need polished.

I agree
Look close at those rod bearings, they are the last to see oil. And some time the cap side looks good and the upper rod shell is toast. More so opposite for the mains.
Have a old friend that has been building and racing Mopars for as many years that I have been around. I once mentioned Melling Oil pumps... he says JUNK... Not really given a reason, but he prefers TRW/Speed Pro and Sealed power pumps..
I like the original oil pumps off old engines.. People will trash them, I will dig them out and pull them apart... I have found some good ones too.
