cam swap

So it appears I have to replace my headgaskets, and I figured a 260 cam from delta would be a good idea while the heads are off.

I was thinking that getting some LS1 or LS6 valvesprings would be a way to save some cash, anyone else done this?

If you have, what was your installed height?

Any other things I should do with the heads off? I have a timing set and water pump for the job aswell.

Re: cam swap

There are a lot of people that put those springs on the FWD heads...but Ive never heard of someone putting them on the iron heads. Not even sure if they would fit right.
