LT4 Hotcam in 97 Vortec 350
I am fixing to put a hotcam into the 97 vortec 350 (carb) in my 88 camaro. I have the valve lift problem fixed. But since this is my first roller motor I have worked on, I have a few questions.
1) Since this cam is regularly used for the LT style engines, does anything need to be changed for it to work? More specifically, will a regular timing set for the 97 motor work?
2) Is http://store.summitracing.com/partde...2D1157&FROM=MG the correct timing chain?
3) With the hotcam will I need to swap the distributor drive gear?
4) If so, what is the right size shaft for a GM HEI?
5) Do I need to buy a new cam button? they simple push into the end of the cam gear and press against the timing cover right?
Thanks for all the help.
