Complete LT1 cam kit recomendations? Hey y'all, I'm looking to install a cam in my 94, but matching all the parts up to do the install is a little bit out of my expertise. Are there any companies that sell COMPLETE cam kits that aren't the Hot Cam? Im talking cam, pushrods, rocker arms, springs, retainers, etc. Or, can anyone give me a complete parts list they used for their stock engine with bolt ons, gears and a stall? Any help is much appreciated.

contact Lloyd at Elliott Portworks for a cam. http://elliottsportworks.com/?page_id=32
He will also recommend springs, likely the Lunati kit (what I have) https://www.summitracing.com/parts/lun-73925k5
Comp Ultra Pro Mag RR. I would get 7/16" and swap in 7/16" ARP RR studs vs the 3/8" stock ones. Get the ARP RR studs for guide plates
Most change to NSA RR so you would need guide plates. These would be for 3/8" thick PR https://www.summitracing.com/parts/isk-300-agp
Trick Flow PR are good. You likely can use 7.2" ones with .080 thick walls 3/8" wide. Best to measure first but if you motor has not been rebuilt than 7.200 is stock length

Do what I did...I ran the CC503 in my '97 SS and absolutely loved it.
CC503 camshaft
CC Promagnum 1.6 NSA rr's - part # 1305-16
TF Chromemoly pushrods - part # 21407xxx (last three digits correlate to specific pushrod length, mine was 7.2", e.g. 214072000
TF guideplates - part # 30400623-8
ARP 7/16" rocker arm studs - part # 134-7103
Crane Dual Valve Springs: 10308-1 *OR Comp 918 beehive springs w/ seats, locks, & retainers (I used the Crane 10308 dual valve spring kit)
Fel Pro Valve Seals (if not included in your gasket set for the cam swap): SS72861
new timing set
You will also have to add the cost of fluids, gaskets, rtv, thread locker, etc.
