Default Vvt cam question... Sort of!!!

Been planning my l96 build and lately have been toying with the idea of adding vvt to the yukon, question is would an ls3 cam work with a vvt setup??? Looking at ls3 specs vs the vvt cams comp cams has they are somewhat similar... Biggest difference being the lsa! Any insight would be great.....

I guess it probably could work if the loves were installed on the proper center lines and you used the phaser limiter. It's a wider LSA with shorter duration than a lot of VVT cams.

I would definitely use a Phaser Limiter kit but it should work.

Got to check tomorrow, but i don believe the ls3 cam has the oil feed for the cam actuator in the 2nd journal so i dont think it will work....

Well it was a good idea,but the ls3 cam wouldnt feed the cam actuator... So there is no way it would work
