cam install check list
getting ready to start a cam install this winter. Right now I have a set of comp 1.6 roller rockers, and my girlfriend got me a GM 847 cam for christmass (got to love the gf that gets you a cam for christmass lol).
I know im going to need new vavle springs what type.
Guessing I cant get away with using a new stock timing chain so either an electric water pump and a cloyds or an lt4 (what do you guys think is the best way to go).
Can I run the 847 on stock lifters?
What else am I going to need to pick up for this project, I am on a tight budget but also dont want to spend the time and money just to half a$$ it.
Also with this cam 3.73 or 4.10 to keep the lowend good without killing the topend?

Re: cam install check list
With NSA Rockers, you need hardened pushrods. They are like $20 from Combination Motorsports. Do some research on the valvesprings and lifters. Theres tons of great info on here thawill lead you in the right direction.
