JoeliusZ28's LT1 cam swap thread

[Superman09]

Have a day in mind that you are planning to do the majority of the work? If so let me know and i'll request it off or the morning shift.

[JoeliusZ28]

I think im going to be out of town this weekend, so maybe next weekend if im not working?

If not im basically gonna be working on most week nights. If anyone wants to come over and hang out, gimme a call. beer is on me, we have plenty to go around after the grad party

You going with the GM Opti or MSD unit? Can you give out any details or is this top secret?

Some thoughts:

1) LOL at the stock lift

2) looks like my valve cover gaskets have been replaced by someone

3) little bit of sludge in the valley, but im happy with how clean it is

4) 374 heads next i decide if i am pulling them or not

5) *(^&*)^ that wire that has to run across the top of the engine

6) I think i am going to delete AIR and EGR cause they suck.

I feel like taking apart my car now.

Too bad I need to drive it every day...

Got to love projects

[JoeliusZ28]

Well Mike, Vince, Jon and Brian [dont think brian is a member here] came over last night and we got a decent ammount done. Ive got some more pictures but i didnt have any time at all to post them last night. We'll just say it was a good time though.

Got the radiator out, waterpump off, optispark off (and thrown across the yard), and headers disconnected. Also got rid of the AIR junk, wish i would have done that a while ago...
