Well I am waiting for another toon from Nelson so in the mean time I have been looking at cams and the best bang for the buck for the turbo 5.3 would be a LS6 cam here is the link of what I am looking http://www.sdpc2000.com/details/scog...center/sd53082 what do guys think?

 

i run an ls6 cam,918 springs and tsp pushrods, i got the cam for 140,traded some stuff for springs and i bought the pushrods new from texas speed

 

So is this a good deal or not and is the pushrods the right length?

 

yes 7.450 is correct

 

Hell yeah! so any words of wisdoms for the cam swap I have not done one on a LS!

cam swap is very easy.....only take 4 hours or so

 

If i was gonna spend that kinda jack I would have a cam spec'ed for you set up.

 

I will have my 01 cam setup for sale here in couple off weeks when I do my motor swap. 01 LS6 cam and yellow springs,retainers, and locks (which I recommend replacing new locks everytime you change the springs). Nice thing you can use the stock push rod on the 01's.

 

I went to home depot and got 5/16" wooden dowl rods and cut two pieces in the length of the cam. Just push one rod through one of the holes at a time (like ls1howto tells ya) and rotate the cam as you do. Doing this keep the lifters up off the cam. I seen ppl do the russian roulete on a lower mileage engine, but I would not chance it. Also seen ppl buy 16 magnic pens and use those to holder thse lifter ups through the pushrod holes. Need any help let me/US know.
