Great info!!! I was just fixing to order the 40 dollars ones.

This would be the best case fix with the motor still in the vehicle..If i had it to do on a Bare block like this one...I would choose to tap and thread for a screw in plug...Thanks for the helpful info Brother...

I believe the push rods are different. I put new pushrods and lifters, and I am running an Ls3 Stage 2 V2 cam. Then I changed my timing cam gear to a 3 bolt. I've heard you can just turn it off in the computer. Once you change the cam, I would do a tune. There is a company out there that makes DOD delete cam that you don't have to tune it. It becomes a stock non DOD cam. No tune, just turn it off in the computer.
