Default Need help with parts for 370 turbo

I need some advice on parts for my lq4 turbo build. The motor is going in a 97 camaro. Forged bottom end 9-1 compression. Going to run 76mm turbo looking for around 750whp. Bottom end is getting put together and I need to know.....

- What oil pump to run?
- What oil pan to use (keeping in mind the clearance issues of a f-body)
- What lifters?
- What crank damper to use (stock iron? Upgraded one?)

Any help would be appreciated.

I run a ported/shimmed LS6 pump in my 370
I also run a stock pan but will be going back with either a Mast or Moroso pan
I run stock LS style lifters
I would go with a good quality ATI dampener

I would also look into a better suited turbo for the engine. There are a ton of options in a T6 flange that will allow alot of room to grow.

Ported/shimmed ls6 oil pump
Stock oil pan (get both sides bunged if you ever get the urge to go twins)
Morel lifters. Don't skimp out on these, believe me
Unless you plan on running above 7,500 rpm an ASP dampner will do.
Oh, and ls9 head gaskets for sure.
