If the word "used cam" scares you understand that the Lt1 is a steel piece. They don't exactly wear out like a normal flat tap. They also let you reuse your stock roller lifters because they too can be reused. I just thought I'd point this out to those of you that might have heard from 'other sources' that a used cam is a thing to avoid.
So if you were every thinking about a cam swap definatly keep the roller setup. The advantages of a roller cam are great in comparison to the price. It's probably the only internal moving piece I would ever reuse from a used motor with unknown milage.

 

So true..........I purchased a used LT-4 cam for my last 305 and it was wonderfull.............Jon is right.

Yup true dat!!! I bought my lt1 cam with unknown mileage and ever since i put in i have had not a single problem with it.

 

u guys running LT1 CAMS what are u running compared to stock camshaft?

 

spreading info is a good thing but it does make it harder
to find parts when more people know about them...........

i bet even a year ago finding an lt1 cam wasnt as much a task as now

 

I kinda think now its getting a bit harder to find LT1 cam, personally i just happen to stumbel across mine from a fellow buddy on Thirdgen.org, and it happen to be on e-bay, only payed $20,and it perfect!!!!!

 

Very true. The LT1 cam I purchased but never used was from a 1996 Vette and it was like brank spankin' new anyways. =D
