Why a Cleveland? The Windsor is much cheaper to maintain and modify as the parts are more plentiful. Normally a Cleveland, rebuilt, should cost $5k and upwards. But check out http://www.allpar.com/rebuilt/ford-engines-for_351clb.html for $1400 since you don't have a core to send them. I don't think this is a Cleveland block, but rather a replacement, worth a call to find out.

As I suspect you already know, there are numerous problems which could cause this. During the rebuild: Was the oil pump replaced? New Screen? Were the cam bearings replaced? Were all of the oil galley plugs reinstalled if the block was "tanked?" And, obviously: Were the bearing clearances carefully checked during assembly? And, most importantly, was this a concern BEFORE the engine was rebuilt? I'm not much help here, but there's just too many possibilities. If that's the best pressure you can get with 40 W oil - there's definitely a concern there. Remember, a pump doesn't create the pressure, the restriction to the flow does - so any internal leakage will result in lower than normal pressure.

your best bet is going to your local junkyard and purchasing a used motor, probably 5 to 7hundred, and either rebuild it or run it until it needs a rebuild
