Use a wooden block cut to the flange with whatever reveal you want and install j channel around it.
Re: 1933 Burnham Boiler - Questions and Potential Replacement
the actual input and out put will be set by how the oil burner is set up. coal boilers typically weren't fired at their full capacity for a number of reasons. it looks like that is a multi pass boiler so if all the baffles are in place and the oil conversion was done well the efficiency might not be terrible.

Re: Can you help identify my B&G boiler pump? Possible replacement? Repair parts?
As @delcrossv and @mattmia2 say, with a little oil (don't overdo it) and some attention to the motor mounts, that thing will run another century or so without problems. The coupler springs are the weakest part, and paying attention to the mounts will keep hem happy.
And the same pump is still made. Don't mess with success…
Oh and one more thing: it's within a percentage point or two of any "modern" pump in terms of efficiency.
Re: Can you help identify my B&G boiler pump? Possible replacement? Repair parts?
You might contact the B&G rep in Seattle, CHC, see if they have the motor mounts and spring coupling. They would probably have a motor that fits also, if you want to buy a spare. Replacing that entire pump with another 4 bolt type may be expensive. Or changing flanges and piping with that insulation may be a lot to get into.

check your local building authority website for reference material and mandatory inspections.
What’s the purpose of a micro-studio? It may bring up additional requirements.

Re: 1933 Burnham Boiler - Questions and Potential Replacement
You don't need to know anything about that old boiler to replace it with a new boiler. You need to find out how much equivalent direct radiation is connected to that old burnham. With that info, you can select the proper replacement boiler

Viessman is considered top of the line if you have someone who knows how to service them. To me tankless water heaters are problematic.
