Default oil pressure

Right now i am waiting on a oil pump body for my 75 sporty that has been on back order for about six weeks now .I am starting to think it mite be easer to just buy a hole new pump. Now for my question does anyone make a high volume p s i pump for old ironheads?

ironheads have roller bearings, and they are a dry sump system, they dont need much pressure at all, just volume to flow thru the bearings so a stock pump is plenty good
