Ls9 Swap So I have a 99 silverado with a 5.3 and was thinking of putting a Ls9 cam along with valve springs and lifters into it. I know there are better cams out there but I'm doing this all on a budget and seeing as I already have those components Id like to go ahead and use them. My main questions are: What are the advantages/disadvantages with this cam, and what all other components should I gather in order to do this job. Other than new gaskets of course. Keep in mind the only thing done to it thus far is cold air intake and a tune. Thank you in advance.

If I decided to go ahead with the ls9 swap would I need a 4th gen timing cover an can sensor? I’ve heard two different things.
