Ya another bump for www.thunderracing.com and www.texas-speed.com
I think the last time I checked Texas Speed had a litle bit better pricing on lifters, gaskets, pushrods, etc.

I don't have the link but follow these steps:
www.texas-speed.com
Click 98-02 F-body
Click Engine and Valvetrain
A menu will pop up with the gaskets, bolts, oil pumps, and other valvetrain stuff.

This link might actually work : http://www.texas-speed.com/shop/cate...?MID=1&catid=7

Good luck

You might also look at a timing chain. Hope this helps.

You can get the LS2 timing chain and LS6 oil pump from GMpartsdirect. This will save you a lot of money. I doubt you will need a double roller or ported LS6 oil pump unless you are running a huge cam. What cam are you running?
