never said i was msart guys LOL
i thought you had to pull the heads to change the cam?
told ya im a dummy LOL, and im not afraid to show my dumbness.

Cam slides right out the front of the motor. Take timing cover off. Spin cam to seat lifters. Run a small Dow rod into oil ports which will hold lifters in place. Take out one cam. Put in new cam. Reassemble. Easy

on the older carb'd motors you had to pull the heads on the ls blocks you dont have too, do what ian said and you'll be fine.

226/236 .610/.620 113 LSA
is that better??

[Frenchy]

I'd get a for sure plan of exactly what you want, and get one spec'd.

[o2camaross]

Better but I would go bigger. I'm going 226/230 in my 5.3 lol

[Botlfed]

if youre gonna change it out later anyways id go for a pretty aggressive cam man.

Look up a polluter by tickperformance. That's big in a 347 (ls1) and that's what I'm running in my ls1. Look at it's specs and judge for yourself what agressive would be in a 408..... If u plan to get boost later don't buy a custom spec for this stage in it's life. They are a p.I.t.a. To resell

Cool hood. Is that a dent in the middle left? Bondo on a hood sucks especially on a new hood.

[MidwestSS]

not a dent as much as a slight depression in the metal.
anyone know how much 2 pints of arrival blue paint would cost?
