No problems. Pan depends on swap. Camaro4 pan here.

I installed a Comp Cam 3bolts camshaft on a L92. Swap a LS3 cover and 4X cam gear. But do I need to swap the sensor also or can I use the stock L92's cam sensor (3 wires)???

This is the L92 sensor (12591720) that I am using...

I believe a new cover comes with a new sensor installed.

The lifters will stay in the heads with the dial method correct?
