Its your friend.
and just to answer your question, they are only as reliable as the builder builds them. skim parts and shorten life of your motor. be careful and build it up with the proper parts and it will be ok.
i have a ls-vtec set-up already, if your interested, check my sig.

Yes, you have the oil pump and water pump which you will need to swap on the LS block. The PR3 pistons will raise your compression.
