Apparently they are pretty much average, bu I have to say that the LS engine Technology is amazing compared to the older years,
Basically, a cam and headers LS engine nets "nearly" as much as the $7500 I spent on my L98 engine.

On my 85, the 2151 were Ok except for the #4 & #6 plugs, so I cut the header tubes off the flange and welded in new tubes that I bought from Summit, I used Hooker tube sections that they sell and routed the tube out farther away from the spark plug and blended the tubes back into the area that I had cut out and heli-arced them and had them recoated
Also, if you have a stick, the clutch salve will be very close to the collector

I have, you can buy a new bearing and repair it that way by taking the dimensions of the stock bearing and buying one online or possibly McMAster Carr.
I got one at a local distributor here in INDY

On my C4 I took welding wire and suspended the lifters and pulled the cam.
I will pin the new Trickflow Damper, new push rods, Comp Cams Double Valve Springs for .650", replace the trunnion bearings in the Rockers, and maybe replace the timing chain, we'll see when it comes out. Cam specs below

EXXXXAAAACCCCTTTTLLLY what I tell my wife, I am using STOCK LS3 Heads that came on the STOCK 2008-2013 cars, and an LS3 cam,, sort of. OK, I'm busted, I am really tired of modding my sons Toyota Tacoma, we installed new wheels & tires, & smoked headlights with HID 6k headlights and LED smoked rear tail lamps, and a new Blue Tooth stereo,,, and we even did some Plasti Dip,ing if that's a word. My wife loves the bonding and teaching part and i just love doing stuff, did I mention I have A.D.D? Well I am not certain that I have but I have some kind of Compulsive Doing Stuff Disorder, I might have even pioneered this disorder :-) Back to the subject at hand,,, I will watch the junk yards for a set of LS3 heads for the $500 range and I can have them ported locally by Mike Stark @ CFM performance, he ported my Dart 215's and my AFR 210's and my Superram. I helped my buddy install his new cam and heads on his 06 / C6 with a supercharger so although the C6/LS platform is very different than a C4/L98 engine, its all straight forward, with a lot of O-ring seals instead of Cork gaskets and Right Stuff. So, I will sit patiently :-) and watch for LS3 heads to come my way, cause I know they will :-0

Anyone done one already? Any insight would be helpful :-)
I will pull the trigger in mid summer, shopping to find a set of budget LS3 heads and do a cam and head swap cause the stock heads alone are worth 30 HP Likely candidate= 228/230 112 camshaft, BTR dual springs with steel retainers, BTR pushrods, Fel-Pro gaskets and seals, GM crank bolt, ARP cam gear bolts, New Roller Bearings for the Rockers, New timing gear and chain

make sure the fuel pump cycles upon turning the ignition on / but before you crank the engine.
test for spark by pulling a plug wire and putting a spark plug into the plug wire and setting the end of the plug onto steel so it is grounded

The price is unquestionably,, absolutely ridiculous, but the glue in grills are $80-$100 and although some have successfully glued and tie wrapped them in place, I gave up on trying to install them and sold them, the GM version is rock solid and since they are not making them anymore, its a get them while you can deal, and they are still available for purchase, the cost went up from the original $175 or so to as much as $280.

So my final,,,, project for 2014,,,, I installed the GM 12499872 Fender Vent Grills this morning, they blend well with the Chrome Wheels, I did it the hard way by taking the existing grills out to clean them and assembled the Chrome vents to the existing vents and re-installed them

Anybody try the Tick bleeder? I thiunk this winter I will install it on mine. I made one custom for my 85 and it worked great,I put a speed bleeder on the end of the SS braided line and tucked it in by the firewall, all I had to do was loosen the bleeder, with the discharge end into a coffee can thru a cut lid, and pump the pedal and it would bleed nicely
