Default for a 13-3-53 CDN Jeep

Trying to help a new Jeep owner who lives down the roads from me.

First question...... engine runs for five minutes then the oil pressure drops to zero...... using HD 40 or 50. Pan been removed screen and pan bottom cleaned..... sludge was present but not an issue. No Knocking yet from the engine....runs reasonably well for the first 5 minutes. We have a new oil pump that we may try to install....? 61k on the clock so the engine may be very worn out. No history on the vehicle except that it was used on a farm....!!!!

Second question..... looking for a picture of the engine compartment that will show the routing of the fuel line from the pump to the carb.....
....the current fuel line goes from the pump on the driver's side across the front to the pass. side up and over the engine back to the carb on the driver's side...

Present set up looks ridiculous and plastic inline fuel filter crammed in a hot environment........ to me it would make more sense to runs directly from the left side pump to the left side carb with a proper period glass bowl filter.
Comments......??? and would use steel brake lines rather than copper.

Not enough to do with CMPs now playing with a Jeep.

contract number is LV 600 ARMY....... stamped "M38A1 CDN" no idea if the engine is original to the jeep....... no lifting hook on the block!!!!
