The mellings will have higher volume and pressure but is a thicker pump and can be a pain to fit with a double row chain as you still need the spacers for chain /pump clearance, alot of dremel work needs to be done to the pump and timing cover to make them fit , but it can be done.
For a simple boltup, go the SLP pump made for dble row chains.

Yes I have done it on my own car.
Need to take quite abit of material off the pump and the timing cover to get enough clearence, but it can be done.
If you don't have any oil pressure issues, stick with an SLP pump or similar.
If you want the high volume mellings pump , convert to a heavy duty single chain set or be prepared for some dremel work.
