Not sure if you read this article but its a good one. I was interested in swapping in an LS6 cam in my 05 LM7 till I read it.

I so looked forward to that article, but was extremely disappointed to find they didn't test the later LS6 cam, with the higher lift. Think that's the one everyone looks for.

I have a LM7 in a Range Rover. I went with the LS6 intake for height reasons, but it can work.
I ended up with a water pump from an Escalade IIRC, and it works perfectly with no "massaging".
Everything else bolted up as the truck intake did.

@454....that would make sense. Yeah based on that article the LS6 which they tested was disappointing.
