Cleaned things up a bit. 2 pistons were damaged. I replaced them with used piston/rod assys. Regapped all the rings for boost. Threw the ZR1 cam in. ($90 cam from GM!) All the roller lifters looked good, gonna run them "as is" too. Got the new LS3 style cam gear with pick up installed. Going to run a LS3 style timing cover with cam pick up on the front.
