oil pumps
getting ready to drop my motor off at the machine shop to be rebuilt.its a 2000 ls1. doing 2.5 5.3 heads and most likely tv2, dual springs, prds, ls7 lifters, ls2 timing chain. so question is this. i want to replace my oil pump obviously since its the original. so is it necessary to buy a [I]ported[I] oil pump or will a stock ls6 oil pump be a worthy upgrade to an ls1. is it even an upgrade at all? im trying to keep costs down as much as possible so seeing if i could get away with an unported ls6 oil pump. thanks alot for any help
