Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!

well we just started the cam swap on Sean (Keego Ridahs) formula in my garage. it's Sean, myself (SS4Matt), Rob Mac (RobM) and Sean from CARS hussling like crazy to see if we can get this done tonight...or atleast by tomarrow....shouldn't take long, we started about an hour ago, and the heads are almost off....i'll snap some pictures in a few...but back to work i go...just thought i'de throw it out there....
The cam swap on an LSX motor is easy. No pulling heads, just make sure to install a couple of dowels into the holes on each side of the cam to hold the lifters up as you swap the cam. I assume you got the install guide of the LS1Tech boards?
haha we got a case in the fridge. we are taking the heads off because it will be way easier to swap the patriot dual springs with the heads off, that and we will be able to lap the valves while they are off. along with the fact that when we take the heads off, we can yoink the lifters so they have no way of "falling" if they aren't in!
i think between the fact that Sean From CARS (sponsor) is an ASE cert. mechanic, myself who has done this a few times now, and Rob who's helped me with mine a few times and everything else, we really don't need any "instructions" might use alldata to check some torque specs right quick, that's about all though.

Hehe yeah, this is like preschool for you guys now
I take the engines out to change springs.
can get an ls1 completely out in about an hour
Gonna take mine out to change vavle seals sometime over the winter
well my camera is dead, i don't have any more batteries for it, and by the time i do get batteries i think this will be done. the heads are off already, the springs have been swapped. i already dropped the oil pan to get the oil pump pickup off....swapped the chain, put the pump and chain back on. (never once did i drop the bolt either! and we disassembled the oil pump so the oring was visable and not pinched!)
the new cam is in now. only thing left is to clean all the head bolt holes and clean the heads up some and put the heads, headers, and intake back on (waterpump and power steering pump as well)
it will be well over 400 at the wheels with out a doubt...heads are back on and torqued...headers are going back on right now...should be running in about an hour tops...
