Oh BOY what a blast it was! First crank the bad boy turned right over and purred like a tiger! Runs smooth as butter and hardly any valve train noise. I do have a idle problem seems like it wants to die and does if it gets no assist from the throttle. But after reading notes on cam swaps from LS1howto.com it states that it may take few miles or so to get the computer to learn the new cam.

I'll take it out tomorrow and put a few miles on it and check it out some more. Great oil pressure, no leaks, no coolant, everything is fine!

Did have 4 bolts on the counter I worried where they went.....but I forgot they go to the hood I need to put back on!

 

Videooooooooooo! I'm starting my cam swap next week I can't wait!

 

Don't ya love it when a plan comes together? (kinda makes you forget about the sore back,at least for a little while)

 

Had the same results after a H/C swap. It sacred the you know what out of me as it started
so easy!!!! You will need a tune and possibly a converter depending on the cam. Let us know how things go.

 

What are the specs of the cam. Curious.

 

No convertor, I got a manual transmission. Cam is a 228R-112. Lift .588

Gonna grab a cup of coffee, then off to my shop!

 

aaaaaaa. What a great feeling it is.. I was so excited to fire it up after my cam install. Can we get a vid......

 

Yes I'll do a video later today. Just like a bunch of kids here.....

 

Grats!

 

Congrats! Hopefully, mine starts on the 1st try.. lol

 

Good job!

 

 

Rick, I have the same cam and just love it. I had to drive about 30 miles to get the PCM to relearn the idle. Get a dyno tune it made a world of difference.

 

congrats rick! you beat me to completion by just a few hours! i had to stop working on mine to go into work for the day, but im on my way out the door now to go finish up, all i have left is a serp belt and the radiator!

wish me luck! haha

 

Best of luck, I'm sure you'll be happy. I still have the idle problem and just have to get another $500 for the tune.

Other than that the car runs fine!!!!

Let me know how you do when you turn it over!

 

Car started to idle after more miles so I guess the PCM does learn as it goes.....who'd a thunk it?
