Default Oil pump, timing chain how much $$$

I'm going to have a cam swap soon, and was wondering where was the cheapest place to get a good timing chain and oil pump?

You might want to check and see what the shipping is going to cost, some of these places charge rediculous amounts for shipping, speed inc is free for anything over a 100 bucks.

I would get the Melling oil pump from speedinc for 139 and that is free shipping!

I love the extra volume and pressure w/ this oil pump,and if you dont want it then it comes w/ a low pressure spring as well, but why.

Texas speed has the LS2 timing chain for 35 bucks, and you can reuse the sprockets if they are still ok. if they are not then Texas has the set for 90 bucks.

Good luck and dont forget the chromoly pushrods also! speedinc has them for under 100 bucks

Good luck and enjoy the new sound and new power!

We can get an LS2 chain, just call for a quote. Save a few bucks by ordering it all from one place.

With my melling oil pump that i just put in I have 60 psi on cold start up and 50-55 once its warmed up. That is much better than stock 45 warm and 30 cold
