Not sure what you were after? A solution? You were give solutions, considering your 'rules' don't allow certin modifications there isn't much you can do except pray you don't suck the pickup dry and blow your motor. Can't give a guy a toothpick and sand and tell him to make a space ship, well maybe MacGyver.
You need about 10psi of oil pressure for every 1000rpm, any less than that is unnacceptable. Another option is looking for a high flow oil filter (canton sells these as well). I'm running a high flow Ford Motorsports filter that was originally made for the old 5.0's. I see pressures around 60psi hot at idle and pegged off the mark (over 100) at redline. With a 'stock' filter I see around 30 and 90 at redline. That's a big difference. Now it doesn't filter as well as the 'stock' one but I'm running ~12qt's of M1 and chance it every 2-3 track weekends.
