This vid shows how I incorporated an oil filter into my Listeroid setup.
The crank pulley drives a small gear pump (approx. 1 gallon per minute).
The oil pump draws oil from a tee in the oil sump drain port and pushes it through the filter.
The filter is located where the crankcase breather used to be.
A port high on the crankcase is the new breather. A threaded check valve was added to the new breather tube.

I have a 6/1 metro with no built in oil pump. Been looking at junk yard power steering pumps and such but I really like the small gear pump featured on the video. Does anyone have a suggestion for a small gear driven pump? Must be cheap. Or at least cost effective, I am horse poor you know.

I was thinking this 12 VDC pump might work if I restricted the flow. 3+ gallons a minute is 2.5 more gallons than I believe I need.

I think a mechanical pump would be more reliable . Electric pumps have a habit of failing .  I am a KISS fan , the simpler it is , the better it is  :D

I haven't done it myself, but I've seen pictures of people using the oil pump from a small block chevy for various projects.  They usually thread the inlet and outliet, and add a sheave to the shaft to drive it with. 

Here's a utube video of one driven by an electric motor:

and here's a discussion with several pictures of various ways to modify them:
