    Checklist

    Ok here is what I have sitting at my house.
    CAM SWAP
    ----New camshaft
    ----New valve springs, locks, retainers
    ----New 7.4 hi-tech pushrods
    ----New mail order tune from Allen ( Havent ordered yet )
    ----Efans( Havent ordered yet )
    DRIVETRAIN
    ----New 4.11 gears and install kit
    ----Auburn Limited slip (will have soon)
    ----New corvette and billet servo's
    ----Home made traction bars ( after install )
    ----15x10'' wheels for slicks

    What else do I NEED? I know some suggest a new timing chain, and oil pump. But do I have to have them? Also will a Ls1 underdrive crank pully work? Thanx guys.

    Oil pump and timing chain with gears will add a lot of install time.

    depends on milage, if u dont do the timing chain and such you dont have to unbolt the oil pan which is nice. Also get a spring compressor and the tool for the sparkplugs to hold up the valves with an aircompressor came in handy.

    ooo and a second pair of hands makes a big difference.

    also a bunch of 8mm and 10mm long and short sockets, wrenchs, ect. and a 3/8 deep well sockets if you replace the valve seals, to seat them. i forgot that part in my swap.

    Good call.

    I've bought stuff like that on sale at Sears then resold it for almost regular price on eBay. Not sure if that's legal though.
