Question about own Cam install
I read the thread on the LS3 cam install.
If we are converting the valvetrain to LS3, is the camshaft install the same steps for the L99? http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=125123 This is the thread I read. Will installation be virtually the same on the L99? Or is there a significant difference? |

Well... It depends if you're changing the lifters or not. If.you are, then you have a little more work to do.

Yes the lifters and tray will be replaced.
I'm trying to read up just a bit. My mechanic is a ford guy but he is known as the best v8/american car mechanic in my country. He says it will be no trouble for him to do and he just needs to read up a bit on the L99. This is more for me to know myself. Self information. |

So the engine/tranny doesn't have to be taken out of the car correct? It just makes it easier..?

Nope. Figure on a solid day of work. You might want to do a trunion upgrade too
