LM7 cam to a LS6 Cam question I have a simple question that I can’t seem to get the same answer too.
I want to put a new cam in my 2003 LM7, I’d like to put in a LS6 cam.
I plan on switching the valve springs to a stronger hold, due to the fact that I plan on putting on a turbo at some point.
So here is the ultimate question:
Can I just swap in LS6 valve springs on my LM7 heads for approx $60 from GM and use existing hardware from my LM7 heads etc?, or do I have to replace the entire spring assembly? If so then it seems just as economical to buy a kit from Patriot etc for like $300...?
I’d like to just swap out the springs and seals and call it good to save some money…
Also with the LS6 cam, I assume I have to swap out the push rods? What length? I have not milled my heads, and plan on using stock GM head gaskets.
Thanks for your feedback if you have time.
