Short Block 7.3

I am putting a new short block in my 2001. I have new heads, injectors and turbo. Is there anything else i need to replace while im in the motor? How long does a high pressure oil pump usualy last?
Thank you

I would not worry about the HPOP, get a new LPOP and a fluid damper if you can swing it...

Did you blow it up?

like joe said, lpop, balancer, new injector cups (if not new) new glow plugs,
