Default WTB: LS1 Valvetrain Parts (Overhauling)

I am currently in the process of overhauling the valvetrain / top end of my 98 LS1. Got screwed it seems when I bought the motor so lookin for some help getting the parts together to get this motor back to normal. Everything needs to be replaced, heads, cam, valve springs, lifters, & pushrods. Let me know what you have, will have the money by the 26th so will be looking to buy around then. Dont have too much to spend but considering all. Going centerbolt style heads because they seem to flow better and are much easier to work on to me.


Needs these parts, stock or aftermarket.

Heads (Already got a set of 241's but if someone has 243's I may consider)
Cam (Stock or Aftermarket, something that doesnt require flycutting, maybe Z06)
Pushrods (Stock but prefer Aftermarket stock length or depends on cam)
Springs (Need aftermarket for a fairly cheap price if possible)
Lifters (Low Mileage Stock or Aftermarket or even new)
Centerbolt Valve Covers (Need these hopefully with brackets)
Centerbolt Valve Cover Brackets (If I get some covers w/o em)

Also if anyone has....
New LS1 Head Bolts
New Head Gaskeets (If not theres always autozone)

Thats just about everything I think Ill need, maybe even a timing set but that would be extra. If you have the parts please let me know, will have cash in hand around the 26th, im in the DFW area.

Thanks

Mike
