The LS valvetrain may have slight avantages in reliability and high RPM, but unless you're planning on 8,000+ RPM with 10mm lift or higher camshafts, the direct bucket design offers nothing for the street engine swap. The inferior lash adjuster/follower combination did fine with cam gears, cams, and heads on David Z's old motor to the tune of near 260+ at the wheels IIRC. That should be the LS'ers minimum goal if something is to be proven.
So it is written....So let it be done. (think:deep voice and thunderous music)
What's up Brad? Have you still got Silvie or not? Are you going to mod the 'maro or the contour?
It's good to have you posting more again.
