Default Newbie questions LT1/LT4 parts

I need help locating following parts for a combo of LT1 block with LT4 cyl heads and inlet. Crower solid camshaft with their rocker arms, valve train etc. Eagle crank and rods, Wiseco custom pistons, 383 stroker.

What I can't find is:
- Valve covers (Fixed: Canton #65-206 )
x Timing chain cover
x Performance timing chain kit
x High volume & high pressure oil pump
- High volume water pump (Fixed: GM pump )
x ARP main and head stud kit
x Oil sump about 7 quarters and oil pickup

I would be very grateful if someone could give me some hints on manufacturers and maybe part number for the above parts.

if you do a electric waterpump then you can do a SBC double roller timing chain- thats what im doing, its a hell of a lot cheaper than getting a LT1 performance timing chain also

Isn't the electric water pump quite expensive?

Have you checked the price of the LT4 ed???

valve covers

Just get a 95 cover and grind it down if you go double roller. I don't see why you can't find any ARP parts. Just check summit or thunder. Melling has plenty of oil pumps, so I'm sure they have a HV/HP one. Check out Jeg's.

The electric pumps move LESS water than the mechanical, that is how they free up power, there is no mechanical pump upgrade yet but one company keeps promising, the stocker moves plenty of water though.

On the oiling more is not necessarily better.
On the heads more is not necessarily better either.
There is no aftermarket timing cover far as I know.
The engine fasteners are the same as most gen 1 motors.

check moroso for the oil pump, canton for the pan, and are you going with a dry or wet sump setup?
