DOD and oil relief valve
hello
i have a 2009 G8 6.0l l76 engine im getting rid of the DOD ,got a delete kit from texas speed and i guess im going to install a thumper cam in it ..
and i got a lsx muscle car swap oïl pan for it ....my question is can i keep the l76 oil pump or do i have to install a ls2 oil pump?..my ls swap pan does not have a oil pressure relief valve in it like the stock l76 pan does ...im i going to have to much oil pressure?
thanks !!!

I used a melling high flow pump in place of the stocker. Replacing the oil pump on a used engine always makes good sense.
Rest in Peace Charlie!

Pick up tube isn't the problem. It's that damn 4" stroke. Lol

With regard to the oil pressure relief valve in the oil pan, http://www.grrrr8.net/showthread.php?t=33532 says that the valve is not necessary for engines without AFM/DOD. So in that respect, your oil pan choice is fine since you're doing a cam swap.

I had a hard time finding the Dorman plug. I made a post on the g8 owners page and posted what I found. I'll add it here later.
