LS6 cam in LS1 After search, I really didnt find a solid answer...
I have a LS6 cam, I know, small cam not worth it, however I bought it used and cheap, I will be doing the labor myself, anyways
Do I need to change push rod length to do this swap properly? I heard something about smaller base circles on LS6 cams and longer valves on LS6 heads to compensate. Anyone? thanks

The LS6 valves are .6mm longer to compensate for the reduced base circle of the 02 LS6 cam using stock 7.40mm pushrods. I used Manley 7.45mm pushrods that came in a sponsors kit. GM was concerned with valve train geometry when they designed the 02 LS6.
