Still thinking.
Does the LS3 and L99 have the same lifters? Hydraulic? |

A good set of hydraulic roller lifters will run you between three and four hundred based on my build...

Was it the cam, lifters, or a combination of the two that were different on the shutdown cylinders? Dual springs, lifters, and what else? |

When doing the LS-3 conversion, the lifters are all the same, the AFM is tuned out, and the cam has to change... There is a sticky on cam basics and it has some pictures that will explain it a little better. It will also describe the difference in the different lifters and cam profiles... Roller lifters FTW...

The only things different between the two are the 4 AFM lifters, and the cam has a smaller duration on the L99. You can keep the VVT but ditch the AFM lifters and use the LS-7 ones. There are several that are doing this for cam changes. Texas Speed and Mast are the top two that I know of. The Mast Track 3 set up is a prime example of this. They replace the AFM lifters and give you there heads, and VVT cam. There package is what Im leaning towards right now myself. |

It's probably best to get rid of the AFM lifters whether you decide to keep VVT or not. If you keep them the cam lobes have to be "special" so they don't wear out the lifters. Larger VVT cams require that you change the lifters for this reason.
Here's a pick of the AFM lifter... notice there's a spring that goes on top of each one when installed. |

I read the sticky, but it's so looooong. lol So the roller lifters obviously don't rotate like flat ones. I'm assuming it wouldn't be a problem? I mean, obviously not if they are making them, but just curious. |
