So here is the plan.

[Slimsilverado]

After throwing some ideas around with Kurt I think I have decided in a direction.

Comp Cam 222/224 - .566/.568 = 112lsa
Comp 918 springs
Comp pushrods
rebuilt trans with 3200 stall
PS lt's with ORy
Nelson 93 tune
Maybe some pulleys.....
Ported/polished 5.3 heads

I have 115k on my motor do I need a new timing chain or anything else while im in there??????

head studs for shure (might as well spend the money now since you have to get new bolts anyway) and timing chain depending on how much chain stretch you have

[Slimsilverado]

I was thinking ARP head bolts myself.........

[Slimsilverado]

Also will a N-Motion 2-row timing chain work on my lil 5.3 they are oly 85 dollars from Scoggin Dickey..

now!! ya talk'n i like that only 85.00 phrase

sounds like you know which way to go!! good luck on the build, personally depending on where youre gettin the stall i would go 3600-3800

never heard anything on the n-motion i have a slp doulbe roller and ported oil pump and it was a nightmare to put on took me forever to get the cover not to hit the oil pump. Id be willin to try that n-motion for shure compared to what the slp cost (dont remember right now) its worth a shot also love my arp head studs and i bet there bolts are nearly as good and 100 dollars less

Just buy an LS2 timing set and be done. No shims to figure out etc etc etc.

[Slimsilverado]

The N-Motion timing set is for a LS2. Just a lot better priced at $85 than everyone else....

Like Zeake said, get the LS2 chain. It's a heavy duty version of what you currently have, plugs right in, and costs less than $40.

personally i hadnt had any issues with just a stock timing chain and gears, not saying i wont but i just hadnt yet, and i am sure i have 130k + on this chain and gear set!!!


damn i hope i didnt jinx myself
