Default She left me stranded last night

When I was leaving work yesterday it seemed my gauges were not working. So I proceeded to make my way home. Then I noticed the temp gauge moving ( just a little. Since tuning the computer my temp stays at a little above 185). My volts guage was in it's usual spot. The oil temp and pressure gauges were still flatlined. So I started to hear tapping. I was on the side of the road in 2 seconds after I heard that.
Now I seems very apparent that my oil pump is gone. There are no fluid leaking from my engine. There was no smoke/steam coming from the engine nor was the engine unusually hot. I did a search but I could not find an R&R for the oil pump.

95 LT1 If anyone has a proceedure I would appreciate it.

Well, that blows. If no one shows up with a how-to, I can scan the R&R out of my 96 FSM. I'd be surprised if it wasn't the same for your 95...

Joe. . . I forgot to tell you on the phone. If you need a long block, I have everything else you need. Intake, valve covers, accessory bracket, throttle body (it's nasty tho), I chucked the oil pan (damn), electric water pump (you can't have it , I just wanted to let you know I have one), water pump and anything else you may need. This way you can put this stuff on the new engine to save some time.
