What goes and what stays? I'm getting ready to do this L92 cam phasor swap for a LS2, (5.3?) style timing cover. the motor only has 12,000 miles on it so i guess the timing chain is optional for now. but, i noticed in the photos that the lower portion of the timing sets are different. the part behind the harmonic balancer in particular. would i need to change all that as well?
this site has been so helpful. really appreciate everyone's input!

The first pick the oil pump is installed, the second pic the oil pump is removed. I am doing a similar swap on my ly6 right now but have not had a change to get back at things since I removed the harmonic balancer.
You will need the cam gear, LS2 cover (New crank seal also) and sensor and sensor harness to do the swap.
I'll try to take pics when I do mine but I fear it won't be till next week now.
When you start it is best to line up the timing marks before you remove the bolt in the cam. this might give you some help also but its just a normal cam swap http://www.ls1howto.com/index.php?article=23

I think the sensors are the same part number I can confirm when I get home and look at both parts (From memory they look about the same length). The harness however will need to be replaced as it includes extra pins for the VVT control.
In this pic you can see both the 3 bolt and 1 bold cam gears I got along wiht the cover and the sensor http://users.xplornet.com/~bitterman/parts1.JPG
https://ls1tech.com/forums/generatio...different.html indicates they are the same part number.

Bruce
