If you want to topswap, I would personally cam it while I had everything apart. Cam and LS7 springs. I think a few members were discussing using LS7 springs since they are cheaper and easier on the timing chain and just as effective if not spinning the engine above 6k rpms.
Get a new stock timing chain and dampner, LS7 springs, steel Manley retainers, valve seals, then all the gaskets and pulleys and belt. I would probably also get a 4.0" S/C pulley and a modular pulley system so you can eventually drop pulleys easily

If you can not afford all the parts at this moment, save up. Meanwhile clean/check the parts you will be getting. This way if you want to paint/research etc etc, it gives you more time.

It is much easier to put in a slide the rear set of headers in with the head off. Plus, you'd end up redoing stuff 2-3 times if you do it in different rounds than all at once. To save money.. it's wiser to do it all at once. I believe I had one of the most expensive builds going. Each part I got was my last and I probably put on 15 different LIM gaskets etc lol.

While I find it impossible to believe your heads are leaking oil, Let's not talk about that or go there. Merely a point of mention.

[TimMcCallum]

I have watched them drip oil at idle. But this is not the thread. I plan to get all the parts I need cleaned and painted before hand and pull the engine and tranny and change the tranny along with topswap it all while the engines out. At this time I am not gonna do a cam. Once I get my money in order I will see what I can do. Like I have said. I am not looking to do a high powered setup at the moment. Just a stock type setup.
