Camaro finally about to hit the streets again

Yay,not really a question but I didn't figure all post had to be questions. Threw a rod a while back in 305,prolly could have replace the bottom end but considering it was rebuilt by a person that knew nothing about quality work,I decided to start fresh. After 3 months of busting my tail to make a dollar i'm up to around $1650(was a hell of alot of work). I was going to buy a brand new goodwrench 350 but have decided to buy one from oriellys. One rebuilt, having a 4 bolt main. I can get a good discount there so it makes sense, plus after reviewing what they do in the rebuild process i'm comfortable with the purchase. Hoping to have enough to also buy, in order, new hi output oil pump,new water pump(may electric pump if its cheap enough) and a edelbrock intake and gasket set. I have to get a few other gaskets but I should be close to enough. Plus new motor mounts.
Hopefully in a month an a half or so I have my car back out on the streets. Does anyone recommend a high output oil pump for a near stock setup. Can it hurt anything? I wanna get up around 350 to 400 horse over time anyway so figured I would just drop it in now since I plan on putting a new one in anyway.

Re: Camaro finally about to hit the streets again

No, i have built way over 500 HP engines and i always use a stock volume oil pump, the high volume pumps should be used when you are using a remote oil filter and oil cooler or you have large clearance between the bearings and crank.
