Ported Intake, where to get done
Yes I realize I can run my stock heads on a cam but i lose power like crazy, so i either get them machined or I just buy new heads. I know the things I have to change and all I just don't know which parts I need, like sizes and all that go with the cc503. I read part of the sticky on what parts i will need.
Alright real quick since you guy are smart, and I do not want to make another thread, does your oil pressure gauge bounce around a lot, Mine goes stays up when cold but when its warms up, every time I hit the gas it goes up and then when I stop it goes to zero and then the check gauge light comes on and it shuts off every time i hit gas, weird I know. Its hard to explain it on here.

you can take the manifold off in like 10 minutesThere is a write up somewhere.
What I did was mask off the engine bay with plastic bags, then stuff lightly oiled rags inside the intake holes. I marked it using the 58mm gasket, then dremeled it all out. I then pulled out the rags, which caught and removed the shavings, and shop vac'd everything before removing the garbage bags. I should have a picture saved somewhere...
...Yep, here it is:

Well I was told by a guy who built his LS motor and his dads LT1 (conversion to LS) he said his dads car does the same thing and everything on the cars new. he said its an LT1 thing with the gauges
What you are describing is usually a dropped pickup.

The pick up falling off is why i got my car cheap! Holes in the oil pan from a spun rod bearing from lack of oil. 0 psi is the absolute worst thing for an engine. As for a cam stay away from the gm 847, and cc306. CC503, or a custom grind from AI or LE would be the best. Tell them what bolt ons you have and your driving style and they will make the right choice for you. Also any cam can be ran on a stock headed engine. With any cam change its REQUIRED to change the valve springs to the reccomended for the camshaft.
