If you can remove and install a motor cams swap in a Gen III is easy!

Sounds easy but I thought the LS motors required special tools to get everything aligned. At least that's what GMHTP indicated in a cam swap write-up a few months ago.

It's here!
I know it doesn't look like much but it is a L92 engine and 6L80E.

You have to host the pictures somewhere like http://www.imageshack.us/
ImageShack® - Hosting then you can hotlink or embed the pictures.


Looks good though!

I wouldn't mess with the cam because of the VVT. I don't think anyone has a VVT cam yet, you would have to same to a regular cam.


You love the 6l80E first gear and the 3.73!

you could eliminate the VVT but it could be difficult
