oil pumps last a loooong time....
100k mi pump on a motor that did not blow up sending metal shavings everywhere should be fine
you should absolutely get the Melling or ARP 1 piece drive shaft though. The plastic collar on the stock one gets brittle and once removed and re-installed..that collar can crack so for the $12-$15 it costs to replace with a solid metal one is advised. a cracked plastic collar will break and you will immediately have no oil pressure. Also be very careful on re-installing the oil pump drive gear with that one small bolt. The old plastic top can crack or break so just "snug" it on using some loc-tite first on threads
Now you have a cam and will spin the motor higher RPM a "high pressure" spring (GM white one) is what many install in the stock oil pump. Opening up the pump to install it you will immediately see if there is any problem inside it but 100k mi alone is not a reason to change it on a otherwise working motor.96 BBB 383/T56
