Default LS6 Cam????
I keep reading on here that ls6 cams are so cheap and easy to find. Where? I can't find one for less than $300.

I got mine with yellow springs and longer pushrods for $200. Less then 2000 miles on it and it looked shiny and new.

The cam base circle is smaller on the ls6 by .050". Instead of 7.4" pushrods longer 7.425" pushrods are recommended. I have read people using 7.4" with no problem though.
