Default Stock internals

Could my stock internals handle S2 heads and that G5X2 Cam.Meaning pistons and rods, i know i need a double timing chain and a ls6 oil pump but i want to make sure my pistons and conecting rods will be ok. I've got an 02 SS M6.

Thanks,
Kenny

No, you will have to fly cut your pistons to get the cam and heads to even work right. The G5X2 is a huge cam. Even with NON milled heads it requires fly cutting the pistons.

Any other ideas to make this work? I want the cam so how far will the heads need to be milled?

I think you missed the point. with non milled heads you are going to have piston to valve interference problems and with those milled heads there will be even more interference. the only way it will work is with fly cutting the pistons or getting a set of pistons with valve relieves in them already.

Are you guys sure about flycutting the pistons? I might be wrong but I thought with non-milled heads it would be close but still work just fine.
