Im thinking of dual springs even if I plan on running the z06 cam.
Couple of questions, what type of pushrods will I need. I've been doing a lot of reading and people say stock is fine.
Another question
I'm a bit confused as to open the ring gap or not. Skinnes suggested in his thread stock was fine. And then I find this from sinisters thread.

Sorry guys im just trying to do a lot of reading and educate myself on this as it is my first build.
I know a dead on tune is key and I'm more then confident cms can take care of me.
Any information is appreciated

Ill call to make sure.
So far things I have ordered are the ls6 valve springs.
Z06 cam (eBay)
Stock MLS head gaskets
arp head bolts (are they all the same?)
I'm still looking for a complete ls1 oil pan
water pump
alternator
and crank pulley.
Truck manifolds
Finding things local or within 80 miles is hard.

arp head bolts are not the same. the 04+ blocks are different than 03 and earlier (so you have to order for your block)
i know it's expensive, but you can get a new pan kit for 300-330 form a chevy dealership. check in with sdpc the sponsor here. what are you doing for steering?

Ill be getting 02 arp bolts then.
For steering I'm going with a manual rack and pinion from these guys

I'm trying to get this thing as light as possible. I'm taking it to the scale tomorrow. They just opened a public scale close by.
Ill check scdc for an oil pan. If not ill check the dealer its a block away but they are so expensive.

Where are you located? If you don't mind
The 216/216 will cost me $175
A lot of threads are making me lean towards the single pattern on a small 4.8 but there are to many variables, one being my bottom end is stock.
Thanks for replying guys
