      L99 to LS3 Conversion

      I am doing a L99/6L80e swap in my 1967 Camaro and i am trying to figure out if i need to do the ls3 conversion. If so what kit would you suggest?

      I think that they actually have different pistons, and the LS3 also has the lighter sodium filled intake valves. But if your question is more related to deleting VVT, then there are several kits out there. And while you are that far, you might as well get an upgraded cam too. I think another difference is the LS3 has the PCV in the valley cover. Not sure if the L99 had that or not.

      I've used Texas Speed VVT delete kits a couple of time and they worked well. Haven't used a DOD delete kit. If I understand right if you do a DOD kit you change out the lifters? Yeah I would do a cam with new springs and push rods.

      Think i should just go with a stage 1 cam considering im just using the stock 6L80e torque converter?

      TSP has a "NSR" (No stall required) line of camshafts that would work best with your stock converter.
