I saw this on the good ole e-bay and was wondering if it was actually worth 250 bucks? cuz if it is, im gunna get it. Well, im gunna get it if it will work with my 1994 LO5. I have 083 cast heads too, not the stock swirlies. Cuz if the lt1 parts dont fit, no point in buying em.

 

I would only buy that kit if you were doing a roller conversion. Assuming your new motor is in good shape you already have those parts and do not need them. You would be swaping out for the same parts you already have. I would just buy a $30 LT1 cam and skip all of that other stuff.

 

^^^^ what he said

 

i plan on doing the roller conversion, what else would i need, the rockers/springs?

 

That LO5 is a flat tappet motor? I thought those LO5 crate engines were roller.

 

i thought it was tappet, hence the reason i want the rollers... but uh oh, i hope its not roller, cuz otherwise i just bought some useless parts

 

Well what kind of car is it out of? Or is it a crate engine? It may very well be a flat tappet motor, I'm just asking.

 

trucks were flat tappet up to 95 or 96 i think. The LO5 in caprice, ect was roller. Ive got the same problem with mine, its from an 88 truck.

 

it was a crate from SDPC2000.com its the goodwrench 350cid Fleetwood/caprice.

 

iv seen that kit on Ebay, im going to need that




Too, if it dont work for you im always here to take the fall....

 

i bought it off ebay... 135 dollas.. lol i just hope i didnt waste my money... wouldnt be the 1st time i wasted money on this car though..

 

has anyone confirmed if my engine is a roller cam setup or not? just wondering...

Do you have a link? GM sells two shortblocks similar to what you bought.

stupid double click speed thing...

 

That should definitely be a roller motor. They don't specifically say that, but caprices of those years were roller and it has the centerbolt valve covers. You could always look for the casting number on the block too if you wanted to know for absolutely sure.

 

crap, i just wasted money then... oh well.. now i have backup roller lifters!! lol

 

Just re-sell them. There are always people wanting to do roller conversions.

All buy it all

 

well, i need the cam still, haha, but ill probably keep the other stuff around for when i do another build... that guy sells LT1 kits like that ALL THE TIME, he had 4 for sale when i got mine. now i just need some full roller rockers and some new springs and ill be set. aside from the work on my heads... gotta get a die grinder and print out SittingBull 's guide before that adventure gets underway though...

 

oh, what rockers would you guys use? 1.5 or 1.6?? and, whats the going rate for a camshaft swap in shop hours?

 

i say do it your self, you'll take pride in knowing you put in the work i dunno but im sure that it'll be $150 to $250 just a guess?
well charge *** loads now a days, i think they chage 300 bucks just to put a alaneter in my dads work van, thank gosh his wrok pays for it all .... oh BTW heres some cam specs the lt1 should be in there.... also depends what heads you have and how much lift they can take you can determn your self its all up to you... stock steel rockers suck... not talking about raitos either...

 

i was going to use aluminum full roller rockers, and there going on 083 cast 350TPI heads... im leaning towards 1.6, but i ono yet...

 

Get steel not aluminum. They're better in almost every way.

 

aluminum are **** to crack at high lifts, you have the same heads as i do altho im ditching them for heads that well be abile to take more lift , a safe lift should be .460 and the max lift on are 083's are .480

 

you should be fine with aluminum BTW

 

well, either way... the 1.6 are going to be too big, mine is a 94-95 LT1 and with 1.6 rockers it has .480/.491... damn... 1.5's it is... is there any way i can modify them to take more lift? id planned on getting the screw type rocker shafts to replace the pressed ones and of course new springs...
