You do not reuse the crank bolt after removing it....

You'll put a blower on your car with a bunch of makeshift orange hoses but you won't do a simple cam swap?????

Your car is gonna be a beast with a cam and that maggie on there PQ... good luck with the conversion.

No doubt.

It's the whole swapping lifters and all that plus a time constraint.

Usually I read the LS1Tech forums for anything technical, but man, this is easily the most impressive DIY I've ever seen.

Great job!

Hey thank you for the write up, close to finishing up installing the Cam in my Camaro.
Comp Cam 227/239-629/.623!

I was wondering what the Torque Specs were for the Alternator?

I did run into a problem though leading me to buy a new AC Compressor
