Here's what I got
 
Just wanting any info on anything else I might need to make the swap go smooth, and if everything I have will work together great and maybe a guess as to how much hp/tq it'll make.

TSP Torquer
TSP pushrods
all new gm gasket kit
crank bolt
all new intake and head bolts
ls6 ported oil pump
rollmaster timing set
Patriot stg 2 59cc with dual gold springs and shaft mounted rockers
Ferra valves in heads
ls6 intake
new injectors
comp r lifters
TCI 3800
trans cooler
pacesetter LT's
wires
plugs
oil and filters for two changes
new TQ wrence
two 12 packs of Corona


Anything else? THis will be my first cam/head swap. Information on this board has given me enough confidence to go ahead and tackle it myself. Any info or advice will be appreciated, and any guesses are welcome!

might want to add another 12 pack of corona seeing as this is your first swap :D

list looks good, you dont neeed new intake bolts though. are the shaft mount rockers the PP adj? if so will make getting the preload on the comp R's alot easier. car should be a whole new animal when done :drive:

Racer8102 Dec 26, 2004 11:00 PM

Yes the rockers are the PP adj. I got that, make one more trip for more beer on my list, you are right the search button is your friend! Thanks

yes it does seem to help..haha...good luck with the swap list looks good just as jrp stated

Do those rockers clear the stock valve covers, or do you need valve cover spacers?

LS1_PNYTAMR Dec 28, 2004 05:50 AM

i read that they clear no trouble. what compression with those heads just wondering? looks damn good man, way to do things right the first time!

Racer8102 Dec 28, 2004 03:25 PM

Well I don't know if they will clear or not, but my car is a 98 model so I don't think the valve covers I have will bolt back on the LS6 heads. Thanks for bringing this up i haven't thought about it. Looks like I might look into some aftermarket covers. Any suggestions? I'll just need to get it put togther and trailer it to Tulsa and have ed at fastchip work his magic. Thanks again
