I asked this same question.
So far people have stated that the oil from JBP is a good go but it hasnt been tested on real high rpm J's. Dont know if it has or not yet.... -hint, hint-

Anyways, from what others said, unless you got like stage 2 HO cams, high CR, and/or boosted/NOSage, blah, blah... The JBP pump is the way to go. Or have someone do the 2.3 swap for you.

If Im wrong anyone, please correct me.






...They just HATE it when you ...POINT - LAUGH - then DRIVE OFF AND AWAY-!...

well i AM gona be bossted withen the next year lol so im planing for the future i just got a new engine and in rebuilding the old and prepairing it for boost

don't let drilling into the block scare you. it is honestly very striaght forward. you have to drill 2 holes. Use a center punch, start with a smaller drill bit, then move up to the 1/2". Then bring it to a shop and have them weld the 3 or 4 holes shut.

not to be a pusher of the swap... but once you have it apart and see it, you will feel much better about doing it. The hardest part is getting the gear pressed onto the crank.
