Re: Replacement parts before install
If it ran fine before the wreck, I'd LEAVE IT ALONE. I see so many guys wanting to swap an LS for cheap power, then the first thing they do is tear it all apart and replace everything. lol. Gets expensive quick that way.
I think in all my years of LS swaps, I've only had one water pump fail...it was my fault. If you must replace the oil pump, I'd just go with a factory replacement. No need for an upgrade on a stock engine. Again, if it had good oil pressure before the wreck...leave it alone.
LS junk is pretty bulletproof when left stock. I don't consider 190k miles high for a well cared for and clean 5.3. Throw it in an drive it.
