Default Need a little guidance on what exactly to buy

Well I got my 6.0 and starting the refresh of the bottom end only thing is I guess the newer LQ4 had different rings and got a few other questions on timing chain set up motor will be spinning north of 7k

Here's a list of things I think I'll need but sure I'll need more

King Main and Rod bearings
Will this timing set work??
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LS1-LS2-Corv...08e531&vxp=mtr
Not sure if the LQ4 I have is 24x or 58x if not what will work?
Lifters will LS7 replacements be fine with the RPM?
Which Oil pump to go with and pick up tube?
Piston rings
Already have ARP main studs going with ARP Rod bolts and Head bolts


Thats the list I came up with

Got about 600 to spend this go around on the first round of parts

If using arp studs on the mains and rods you must get the main cap align bored and the rods need to be resized as well to use arps. Ls7 lifters are fine if you get correct preload. For a pump get an ls6 or melling m295 unless your running an aftermarket pan. Use whatever pickup matches the pan you're using. GM muscle car pan is only $150 and comes with pan, pickup, windage tray, and dipstick which is a good deal. And since its a gen 3 lq4 it is going to 24x reluctor, which u can check by verifying the cam sensor is on back of the block by oil pressure sensor. If it in the timing cover you got a 58x motor.
