[QUOTE="99GTMichael, post: 15584133, member: 176381"] If you're going to be into the short block, personally I would replace the oil pump without hesitation and the pickup screen as well. Deepens how wild you want to get with it and how deep your pockets are. If you do get a pump, make sure to check the clearances in the pump. Lifters, it depends. I haven't worked with a roller 5.0 to be honest. I understand that quality roller lifters are technically reusable on new cams. Push-rods become relevant if you do a bunch of machine work to the deck, head and radically change the cam. If you get into the head and start messing with stem height and whatnot, but you do have roller rockers with poly-locks I see. I recommend checking for new push-rod length if you're doing a build. Can't really comment on the teeth for the flexplate/flywheel. Really depends a lot on the application. I am pretty much only familiar with the older style 28oz external balance early applications. I used a 157 tooth for my early C4 automatic application. I understand that Foxbodies and possibly later? are 164 tooth 50oz external balance. Balance is another factor to consider for your engine. Do [B]NOT [/B]read any of this as the gospel. I am just a college student and I know enough to know that I don't really know anything. I recommend really speaking with your builder if you trust them. They will have the information you need and the means to get you sorted out. However, I can tell you that building an engine gets out of hand quickly... lol. [/QUOTE]
