Default new oil pump?

getting ready to do an LS1 conversion into my mustang and was wondering about the oil pump. i "searched" on here and there seems to be a suprising amount of oil pressure problems, especially with the older motors (mines a 99 w/69k miles). i think i will go ahead and put a new one in, should i use a Z06 pump or is a stock one sufficient. thanks, rich.

any ls6 pump from any of the sponsors will work fine. i bought my ported ls6 pump from TSP at a great price . throw on a new chain while your at it.

sounds like an interesting project.

I would recomend it, and make sure you get a new oring and stuff too! The core cause of my oil press problems was a valve that was stuck/sticking, the oil pump swap is not that hard.

What kind of Stang. **** that is the first time I hear of someone swapping an LS1 into a pony.
