Corvette L98 oil pickup on Fbody?

Howdy..

I haven’t had time to tinker however have a three day weekend on my hands. I’m swapping a 91 Vette L98 into an 89 Gta and remember hearing something about the oil pickup won’t work? I bought a new F body pan for it as well as a pump so am I missing a key ingredient?

You should check the depth compared to the pan. If it is the right length, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use it

I’m not even sure what it looks like. Would I be able to use the one out of the original engine?

If it's clean, yes. I'd bet the original Fbody pump is just fine too.
