Default Lq4 rebuild

Hey everyone. I'm rebuilding the internals of my lq4 and I'm looking for suggestions for parts, like should I use a ls2 oil pump or is there other parts that are interchangeable... I've looked around and I don't see a master rebuild kit by anyone but ebay and ebay scares me for parts, unless u think otherwise.

I'm really trying to build a budget motor so I want to do this as cheap as possible but not cheaply done so any suggestions for manufactures and parts would be great too
