VVT removal on L76 I am looking at a L76 6.0 for a carb'd application and was what is involved in removing the VVT.I have searched and not found much information on this.I was planing on a cam swap anyway but is it as simple as swaping cam,cover and gear/chain??

It also has Active Fuel Managment,so does this mean I need to change the lifter trays and lifters as well?Any idea how much money is involved in converting to conventional parts?

Need to refresh an old topic !
-Is the cam swap necessary to run the L76 with a carb? I was hoping to wait on funds before cam swap.
- is the oil pump change necessary if swapping oil pan? I read the DOD high volume oil pump will suck the small pan dry.

I ran the OEM cam in my LY6(VVT motor), the correct top cam gear for a single retaining bolt is the only difference, I found mine on an 08 5.3.
my stock 6.0 LY6 w/ vvt removed(but still stock cam), and converted to carb propelled my 67 camaro to a 12.59 @ 109

When you changed your cam gear did you change your timing cover
