Ya, get some 3/8th dowel from Home depot to insure that none of the lifters fall down when putting it in. when you doing the install? Going to degree it.
upgrading pushrods? Double roller timing chain at the same time? might as well.
Have to get it tuned right afterwards.

I would go with a bigger cam also and you might want to change your oil pump while your at it. There is a reason why the LS6 cam is cheap. If you look on ebay you can find regrind cams for $100. Same specs as a hot cam or bigger.
i been reading the how to on cam swaps and some say u need a metric wheel and some say u dont what yall think.i dont have the tool to hold up the lifters when removing the cam has anyone tryed to remove the intake manifold and just pulling them out cause thats what i usto do on the old school chevys
I still say do the cam you think about it it will cost you no more then $100 or so and you will gain 20+ horsepower for a weekends worth of work. Not to mention the knowledge you will gain.
1. The lifter in the LS are contained and when you spin the cam with no pressure from the pushrods on them they are supposed to stick in the up position. The dowel rod will cost less than $2 and just ensure that they don't fall down into the engine.
