So Im doing a cam swap for my 99gs over the christmas break, however Im having a few issues with a couple things. The first is is how to actually swap the cam. Im changing everything while Im down there, lifted, pushrods, timing chain, everything. Im also going to pull the heads inspect and installed new head gaskets ( debating on going to a thinner gasket as well ). With that said, whats the easiest way, In car, pull engine, or drop cradle? A good mechanical friend of mine whos swapped a few engines in his time is swearing by just dropping the cradle. We have the means to lift the car high enough and roll it out, however I see that being more work then required really... linkages, brake lines, etc? Another question that I cant seem to find an answer for is which pushrods am I doing to run? ZZP doesnt give a clear answer. Im going with a NIC cam ( for now well say stock head gasket size ) #140 springs, ls7 lifters. The 6.95 or 7.00 5/16 push rods are our most common upgrade for VS/XP/NIC cam cars using LS7/Comp OER/LS7 lifters on stock length valves. We offer 5/16 and 3/8 diameter pushrods. Ok thats fine, but they only offer a 3/8 rod in that size. so what gives? Will 3/8 rod work? Where can I find a 7.00 5/16? Comp on there website doesnt offer it. Thanks for any info
