Sounds about right.

In that case you'll need to re-use your intake manifold, rocker covers, cyl heads, rockers, pushrods, cam retainer/thrust plate, lifters, lifter guides/dogbones, lifter guide retainer/spyder, oil pump drive shaft, oil pump pick up screen, timing cover, harmonic balancer and flex plate/flywheel.

The Hot Cam would run good on a TPI with 10.1-10.26SCR and a little head work.

Of course you'll need new LT4 valve springs for the Hot Cam and you'll want to put the new valve seals that come in the gasket kit on there as well.

You would probally want 1.6 rockers and to plot the rocker geometry/pushrod length but you could probally get by with re-using the stock stuff.

- LT4 springs - Already in heads when I had new seals and valve job done.
- New hyd. roller lifters - just bought last week came with spider and dogbones.
- Comp 1.6 RR's - have them about 5 miles on them
- push rods I will wait until assembled and check geometry

Damn, I've almost got myself sold on this. Now to sell my wife on it.

I think I already might have my stock block sold too.
