cam packages? Figure I could get an idea how much to set aside. Im looking to get a 503 cam but curious if there is any packages out there for it. I just want to get an idea exactly what I need for it (so far seems lifters, pushrods, rocker arms, a timing chain and valve springs) and if there are actually full packages out there. Seem to find a lot of ls1 stuff but not much lt1 stuff.

It really depends where you go for your package deal. I agree that a "Motel 6" package deal might not be ideal, but if the Ritz Carlton had a package deal I might not be adverse to it.
There are some companies that put together quality cam kits for LT cars. You might look over Ai's website before dismissing a package deal all together.

Haha good quote.
Yeah the AI package deal did look very tempting. For some reason I just liked the idea of the 503 cam. Guess since I wont be ordering for a bit im checking into options, and what places are good to look into.

Very true LMAO.
Keeping in mind that there is a difference between a "package deal" and a discount based on
total purchase. I generally purchase complimenting parts from the same person who designs
my cam, that way I know I am getting the correct quality supporting parts.
On the flipside, there are "packages" out there like the Hotcam that come with substandard components
(which really tends to surprise people for some reason)
If you are planning to run a 503 (a great off-the-shelf cam BTW), I'd order
it, and quality springs, rockers, guides, etc... from a reputable vendor.
(I do a lot of my shopping at SummitRacing and Jegs and stuff arrives within 1-2 days with free shipping).
