Heads and Cam swap???
Im getting ready too do a heads and cam swap on my 99SS Ls1 I have new valve springs and seals,ls7 lifter Ls6 oil pump. Should I swap out the timing chain well im at it? And what timing chain should I go with? Also heads and cam swap kit? Gaskets and everything too do a heads and cam swap casting 862 5.3 liter heads which kit should I go with?Any tips on swapping out the stall converter? Anything else I should change out or replace? Appreciate the input.

Yes, you should change the timing chain. Chances are it has stretched over time. There are lots of options but I am running a LS2 timing chain. Which should do you fine.
Here are two Texas Speed H/C kits with gaskets and bolts.

Can't really tell from your post if you already have your heads or not but Vengeance Racing, Texas Speed, Advanced Induction as well as just about any other sponsor on here can put you together a Head/Cam/Push-rod combination since you already have your valve springs.
