Anyone swap in a C6 Z06 cam to their LS?
I have a chance to grab a C6 Z06 LS7 cam/lifters/pushrods for $200 from a 20k mile car. I read somewhere it is doable on the LS1/LS6 with a cam sensor change and wire mod. I just picked up a set of reman. 243 heads and was considering a Lunati Voodoo C5 Z06 equivalent grind, when this LS7 deal came up.
Has anyone done this, and if so, what all was entailed?
Most of all, what were the results performance-wise?
Thanks C5 clan!

for the price of the cam plus all the parts to convert you're better off buying a custom grind cam in my opinion... personally I would not want to use used lifters either and the pushrods are way too long so those are worthless to you as well

nothing wrong with 20k lifters imo. He will pick up some oats for cheap, why not?

$200 for the cam plus a new front cover, sensor, pigtail or extension harness, he's approaching aftermarket cam territory in price at that point and could get something better suited for his car... lifters are so cheap and it takes a lot of work to replace them so why risk it?... just my opinion
