changing lifters ..
You need some after market push rods not connecting rods with your cam swap..I have been running the stock OEM lifters for 117K miles with a 233\233 595\595 112 cam ... I am getting ready to swap in a different cam and I will replace the OEM lifters with a new set of OEMs at that time.

i know that you must change the springs and the connecting rod ... but what about the lifters ??

This is especialy true with 97-98-99-00 because of the OEM lifter design.
01 & 02 had LS6 lifters wich are more tolerant.
You mentionned in another thread that you are putting new heads on so I would at least do Comp 850-16 with the G5X3 you're planning to run.

How many miles on the car, and did you plan on pulling the heads off anyway?
