Cam install
 

With my wife's car dying I'm thinking about going back to my cam install idea.
So help me put a list together of all the parts I'll need.

Cam
pushrods
timing chain
LS6 pump
springs
tune
gaskets

What else?

If you are going that far, I would just get some new lifters and rockers as well. that way you can be sure that no worn parts are trying to mate with new parts.

i dont get why you want to do this b/c your wifes car is dying??

yeah i plan on doing the whole shi-bang. cam, lifters, pushrods, rockers, studs, springs, retainers, locks, valve guide seals and stem seals, timing set, and then of course gasket sets. summit has cam change sets which include top and front of motor gaskets.

oh and you'll also need a tune :D

I was going to supercharge the car but now I have to spend the money buying her a new car so I have less to spend on my car. So a cam install is the next best thing.

It's in my list

k, gotcha. you could just wait till you have the funds for the supercharger if that was what you really wanted...

It'll take a very long time, I've been saving for quite awhile. It's all good because I know I'll love the cam.

But you know youll LOVE the s/c :D

yea chad you know you want that roots style s/c sitting on that ls1...think of how hott that would look

Do you have six thousand dollars I can have?

i do

Because I'm sure you wouldn't want to spend that on your car to finish it up. :lolsign:

no...i need more than 6k to finish my car now anyways. lol. I might score some new carpet, door panels, and arm rests for a good price tommorow tho
we'll c what happens

I figure may as well do the cam since by the time you save enough up for teh s/c you'll find something else you want too
