I'm working on a similar build. LS3 block, Diamond L92 pistons -12cc, Callies crank and 2" journal rods, ported L92 heads, LS7 lifters, Comp 921 dual springs, D1SC.

I was going to reuse my eagle rods with a stock size 2.1" big end, but they 2.1" cranks were out of stock.

The only thing I would change is the LS7 titanium rods.
They are great for a N/A build, but they are not strong enough for a boosted motor.
A high quality H-beam would be a good upgrade in strength.
Your existing oil pump will work fine.
