Need a new engine

[Wild one]

I guess I was not fully clear with my post, I burned up all 8 rod & all main bearings, the company that build the engine sent them all back to my installer after they tore it down an inspected the engine, dont recall if they said any thing about cam bearings, I was lucky I got a replacement engine before them getting that one back...

ATF had squat to do with burning up the bearings,that was strictly a rebuilder fault.
It was fairly common to add ATF to a crankcase to flush an engine,and it never burned up any bearings .

Well first warm day will bring things to light gonna need a oil pump and some while im in there when its at full op temp pressure guage leans on the low side runs smooths as butter but low oil pressure the sensor went out today swapped it hoped it was the issue but it wasnt it was a bad sensor but not the oil pressure issue my question now is the melling 452hv or 10542 hv or melling stock replacement

Take the sensor back out,and screw a mechanical guage in the hole,and see what you have for actual oil pressure.
You can buy a fairly cheap kit,that'll work for checking the actual oil pressure.

Ive thought about doing that but the parts arent to expensive and it now has just shy of 100k miles might as well and it will give me piece of mind

Very seldom is the oil pump the reason for low oil pressure,the #1 reason for low oil pressure is bad bearings.The hemi's don't have much of a rep for oil pumps going south.Maybe yours has died,but don't be surprised if it's still good,and you have other issues.

Finlay fixed new oil pump (melling hv)& pick up tube oil pan (starting to rust out) timing chain set
(Might as well while in there) water pump and all needed gaskets the root off all the issues was the fact that the pick up tube screen was almost completely covered with a hard sludge deposit no evidence of metal even disassembled old oil pump no evidence of debris going through it
