Id replace the lifter trays and do the comp trunion upgrade while youre in there as well. Are you going to measure for pushrod length?

There is a used ms3 cam for $250 on fb. And the list looks good to me , but it would be a great idea to get new intake manifold gaskets since its already off.

$100 at summit for trunion kit ... your going to need new head bolts GM bolt are not reuseable and they are torque to yield..ARP is a better choice..they are reuseable and torque to FT. LBS.

New timing set might be worth it also

Do it right and measure... replace the trays for the ls2 trays and timing set also get harden push rods if you $$ don't allow you to do it all just wait til you can.. your also going to need a a tune the ms3 is a big can for 346 block that's a Max effort cam if its an auto your going to need a stall convrrter as well

$100? Good deal

They look beefier than comp cams version too

They look just alike...the retainer clips on the trunion shaft is a little larger but that the only difference that I could see.

Also depending if your car currently has the LS1 PCV now would be the best time to complete the LS1 to LS6 PCV conversion as well. Here is a link to it as well.

yea i didnt really want to do that cuz ima have to get everything installed nd ima have to wait for the pushrods to get here after nd the build is gonna take longer, my mechanic said it was gonna take him a day to rebuild it nd idk if he wants to keep my car there for like a whole week lol

rivasl650

**** dont want to waste more money lol but the pcv system seems like it would help cuz my eat a qrt. in like 3 months nd i hardly put like 5to 20 miles (tops) a day so this intrests me, how much is the whole ls6 pcv kit? nd u really have to cut the block? or can i just get a ls6 intake mani nd not have to cut the block?
