Bore spacing, therefore main journal and cam journal spacing is the same as the other GEN 3 and Gen 4 blocks. A LS6 cam will fit.

The block is not shorter. The crank has a shorter snout and flexplate mount, and the accessories, especially the water pump, are arranged in a more compact way. Overall the "engine" is shorter.

sounds good .. would disabling the DOD make that big of a difference in fuel mileage? most v8 camaros get about the same mileage as we do and they run on 8 cylinders all the time.

If I ever do a cam in a LS4 (maybe on the next Fiero), I'd probably dust all the DOD hardware and put in a LS1 valley cover, just to make an intake swap less of a pain.

Damn this is what, maybe the 1000th post about cam swaps. I wonder if anyone is actually ever gonna tackle this project!
I bet when people start to realize the amount of labor involved they change their mind. I hope someone does it though, I would love to see the results. Not something I plan on doing to my car though. Too much work for too little gain. Plus my tranny and tires already can't handle the power of my stock LS4.
