First thanks for your help in advance and I apologize if some questions were answered before. I searched and read this forum for quite awhile before I asked.

My LS2 took a crap and I broke the ringland on #7. Block appears ok so plans are to go 5 over and stroke. Initial plans have Callies forged bottom their upgraded (between H and I) rods and bolts, Diamond pistons for app. 11 compression. Bearings and gaskets have not been ordered yet.

On the top side I have trick flow 220's, a 236-238 113 cam and ported 92 FAST intake.

The block will be blueprinted by machine so if any other machining is recommended please tell me.

The big questions are: Will I need to change my oil p/u assembly and with what(melling pump). My shop is a SBC shop (race motors over many states with all of the equipment) what won't they know about LS motors.
Am I nuts?

Thanks Again!

I would go with a High Volume Oil Pump..IMO.

Stock Factory Pickup works without a problem.

Thanks Merv. I should add that these guys have done other motors for me and are friends. I would prefer if I can use them but I have read some horror stories of small block people doing LS motors, the guys will stand behind their work I just dont want to rebuild again.

I would fine someone with knowledge in LS. An engine is an engine but no one know a LS engine better then an LS builder.

Very true.. there are things that are just used for LS Engines aswell..like the Torque Plates for Boring.
