It's been a while since I R&R'ed an oil pump, but as I recall, there are no seals or o-rings involved. It's just bolted on.

If you're doing it from the bottom with the engine in the vehicle, you'll need to make sure the oil pump drive shaft engages the new pump properly during re-assembly. Might be easier to remove the oil pump drive before changing the pump.

However, I doubt you need the high-cap pump on a non-piston-oil-spray engine. The 1993 model-year 6.5TD Project engine is running with the original oil pump that pre-dates the hi-cap model produced for the 1997 model-year engine.
