Questions/Help: Swapping LS2 parts into/onto LR4 4.8L
Hey Guys,
It's been awhile since I've been on. I put the build on hold as the Fiance and I were doing some house hunting.
As of now the build is back on and I need some help, if any of you know.
When I start putting the 4.8L back together I don't know if I'm going to be able to make certain items work. The ones in particular are
LS2 Double Roller- Patriot Performance (already purchased)
LS2 Oil Pump (have not purchased yet, either SLP or Melling High Flow)
LS2 Powerbond Crank Pulley (already purchased)
I plan to swap the LS9 cam into the LR4 and use my LS2 cam sprocket to do so. Will I be able to swap the LS2 chain/pump/pulley as well if I use the LS2 timing cover, etc..? If it's not a direct swap is it possible to make it work?
Thanks

I have these options as well. The only issue is, if I go with the LS9 cam can I even use these?
Melling Oil Pump (High Volume) - GM Gen II & IV (4.8L, 5.3L, 5.7L, 6.0L, 6.2L) [10296] - $179.95$138.95 : MarylandSpeed.com- Your First Stop on the Way to Performance!
Since I apparently have choices, for a twin turbo build I plan to go High Volume. I'm not positive but I think I get spring options to make it a high pressure pump as well.
Harmonic Balancer/Underdrive Pulley, 2010 L99/LS3 Camaro/1999-09 4.8/5.3/6.0 Silverado/Sierra/Classic/SUV/2006-09 Trailblazer SS w/Bolt [100230A] - $229.95$206.95 : MarylandSpeed.com- Your First Stop on the Way to Performance!
I think powerbond makes the same exact pulley for less. If the LS2 would work though, that'd be great because I already have it.

The only thing I still need to order is the Oil Pump. I have the LS2 Crank Pulley and Double Roller Chain, and I don't think the chain will work with any old Oil Pump. I believe it has to be LS2 specific, and I think with the Melling I have to file it down some so it clears the chain.
Thanks for the reply. I'll try and mock it up this weekend using the stock ls2 pump that failed.
