you don't happen to remember what month that issue was, do you?

 

my bad its new era performance. they have the whole kit that comes with everything. $1200 with cam i think it said. it was the 150hp g8 cam swap i think. the lifters on dod are totally different. september 09. is the month.

 

i read through the online version, and yeah i saw that the lifters are different.
good idea gm, but shame on them for making it such a pain in the *** to remove.
i've already got the cam and springs so i'm just going to try to piece together the rest of that kit. thanks for your help.
my problem now is figuring out what length pushrods i need. i really have no idea whats currently in my engine so i've got nothing to compare new parts to.

 

7.4 more than likely. stock lifters stock head gaskets and stock rockers and valves.
anybody/everbody will tell you the only real way to know is to use a push rod length checker to check. that way you know for sure.

 

I'm guessing 7.4 also since you'll be using the LS7 lifters. If the truck can be down for a few days the best thing to do is measure, but I know for sure that more than one performance enthusiast has installed that cam in their rig and should know for sure. If you can't find anything through searching here, try SilveradoSS.com, as I know that a bunch of guys there have run that cam at one point or another.

 

there is a guy over on ls1tech in the fi section that talks about this cam all the time. might try pming him.
MY99TAWS6 is his name on tech. we got ya this far let us know what the answer is.

 

great info guys, thanks

 

all right, i have my $600 list of parts for the swap....cam and springs have already been paid for. thanks gm, this is an expensive pain in my ***.

 

if you're keeping the DOD
4 trigger LS7 cam sprocket (cam gear only, not crank)
3 bolts for the cam gear

if you're getting rid of the DOD
new lifters
new LS2 valley cover
new head bolts
new head gaskets
4 trigger LS7 cam sprocket (cam gear only, not crank)
3 bolts for cam gear

 

very important you dont cut corners on a dod those lifter will colapse. Good choice on LS7 lifters. the rods still should be 7.40s alot of guys are running into this trying to mod the L99 2010 camaro motor
