I'm going to be doing a cam swap soon and have been going over this for about 3 days now trying to get all the correct info and part #'s for the parts used and needed in a cam swap. Hope this helps some other people out
Balancer Bolt. (GM Part # 12557840) qty. 1
Cam Sproket bolts (GM Part # 12556127) qty. 3
(cheap so why re-use)
Cam Retainer Bolts (GM Part # 11515756) qty. 4
(cheap so why re-use)
Front Engine seal (GM Part # 12561244) qty. 1
Water Pump gasket (GM PArt # 12559271) qty. 2
(99-up)
Timing cover gasket (GM Part # 12574294) qty. 1
Valve Cover gaskets (GM Part # 12560696) qty. 2
(may not be needed)
Optional Parts that may or may-not need to be changed but should for insurance sake
New LS6/LS1 oil pump (GM Part # 12563964) qty. 1

Oil pump pick-up tube o-ring (GM Part # 12557752) qty.1
LS2 Timming Chain (GM Part # 12586482) qty. 1

Also I found these Part #'s for swapping out to an LS6 manifold
LS6 manifold w/out EGR (GM Part # 88894339) qty. 1
(comes with all new gaskets and MAP sensor)
Front coolant tube (GM Part # 12578838) qty. 1 or 2
(replaced Part # 12568478)
Rear coolant plugs (GM Part # 12563325) qty. 2 or you can use a second coolant pipe
Misc stuff I'm going to change also would be:
Knock-Sensors (GM part # 10456603)
LS6 PCV conversion:
---------------------------------------------------------
LS6 valley cover (GM part # 12568002) qty. 1
valve cover plug (GM Part # 12568011) qty. 1
The reason I'm posting this info is that half of the original Part #'s where either wrong or I couldn't get the right ones to begin with.

Glad you cought that. I was copying and pasting a lot of number's and missed that one.
I have to say thanks to www.ls1howto.com and all members of this board that helped find the part #'s for some of the idividual items. Some of the part #'s listed on www.ls1howto.com are off or have newer part #'s. I would like to get this to whoever made the web page to help him out.
