parts for cam swap
I need a list of what's recommended to change and what needs to be changed. I know a ported oil pump and timing chain. And some gaskets. But what do you all consider a good list? Thanks!

I really wanted to do a cam swap over the end of summer/early fall myself. I decided to hold off until April/early May. The thought of camming my WS6 and watching it sit in the garage over the Chicago winter didn't really appeal to me. Not that I wouldn't want to do it. It'd just kill me to see her in the garage under a car cover with a fresh new cam installed.
If you don't mind me asking, what cams are you looking at? What are the specs on your car?
Edit: Just noticed your located in Florida....Cam that bitch!

Mine is nothing special. I'm deciding on the ASA cam. Good numbers for a DD. I want something that sounds mean and doesn't beat my valvetrain to hell. Right now I'm putting on a set of Z06 heads. Long tubes and true duals. Not looking for a massive cam.

Yea. The parts you need add up pretty quick. $$$. I overshot my budget by a few hundred dollars. Just little odds and ends I would want done at the same time while a cam is getting done. Going to have mine done within the month, hopefully.
