opti install ? 94 opti to a 95 block? change cam gear?
ok i am putting a new motor in my 94 lt1 and the opti is driven by a splined shaft on the back of the opti that goes into the center of the cam gear. that is how the 94 are right? ok and the new motor i have to put in it, is out of a 95 which the opti is driven by a dowl pin in the cam gear, correct? now could i just swap the cam gear off my old motor with the cam gear on the 95 motor to allow my 94 opti to fit it?

Yes, that would work. IMO, I would buy a complete, new timing set while I had it apart.
You're missing a good opportunity to swap over to a vented opti, though.

You're doing extra work to achieve an inferior setup.
I'd rather have a used GM 95+ opti than a brand new GM 94- opti.
