You shouldn't need a new pickup. If you do, it's only $15 or so at any parts store. If you do replace it, make sure you either weld it to the pump or make a bracket that bolts on so it doesn't work it's self out.

I think he is talking about a lsx motor, the pick up is in the rear and the pump is crank driven. Pick up tube is sealed with an o-ring so there isnt a way to weld it.
