Getting ready to start the rebuild! Some ?'s.... *DELETED*
Should be a nice swap for you..I would go double roller..kinda a pain in the but..but easy to install when the motor is out of the car
You can get LS1 federal mogul bearing's here www.thunderracing.com in the engine section for 98-02 f-body's...That "knock" noice is probably piston slap so I would run a 3.905" diamond piston and make sure that each cyliner is exactly 3.905" after honing..file fit the diamond piston ring's accordingly to your specs (or diamonds) and you should be fine.Later,Carter
BTW I would go with a bigger cam
