I was going start my cam swap today but I forgot to get the lifters do you think I will be ok if I just use the stockers I heard the 98 aren't as good as the 99 and newer . What do you think

 

You realize that you will be taking the heads off regardless. That is the only way to get to them on LS1,2,6. But if you are going to do it I would get the Comp Cams OE replacements.

 

Oh yeah forgot to mention I am going with 01 heads too

 

Then swap them while you have the heads off....

 

 

Yeah totally man. Once the heads are off, you just unbolt the plastic retainer and they pull right out. It's too easy not to do. I say if you've got the money. More quality insurance in your motor knowing you have better/newer parts in there. Especially one's that are known to fail on occasion.

Rick.

 

well the issue was the wait so I am getting the comp replacments tomarrow. Luckily my suppier had them in stock woohoo good price too

 

well. i hope they were less than the LS7 lifters you can buy from GMpartsdirect for $125 to your door, otherwise you got hosed

 

Change them out. Changed to a .590 lift situation and I didn't replace the lifters on my 98. Wrong move, and had to do it after. #4 intake had the plunger on a 30 degree tilt. I used the GMPP LS7 lifters for ~$120 from Jim Pace.

 

they aren't....
