Motor Swap Progress
Over the next few days I will be tearing apart a perfectly good working LS powered camaro to accomplish one goal: go faster! I will be swapping in a motor that has 80K miles while taking the 185K mile one out. Since the engine is sitting on a stand, I thought it'd be a good time to add some goodies to it. I started tearing it down tonight, and here is how far I got.
Stock longblock:
Now a shortblock:
Some new valvetrain parts 
Over the next few days I will be taking pictures and posting progress of the build. My plans are to have the motor back together by thursday night, and work from friday-Sun to get the car back up and running. Check the classifieds section for cheap LS1 parts!

I would cut him slack if he did it while the engine was in the car, but since he isn't, no slack what so ever.

Just a little progress
While everyone was bickering back and forth, I was outside getting some work done. Stock cam, lifters, oil pump, crank pulley, etc. are out...now it's time to start cleaning up the motor and then the new goodies will start going on. Goal for tonight: Get new cam, oil pump, oil pan, lifters, timing chain, and pulley back on the motor. While I was out in the garage the new clutch from monster arrived. The real fun starts tomorrow when the heads go on tomorrow and then the tear down of the car starts.
Just 2 pics of progress:
Stock cam(for sale )

Until I get a few passes out on the track-yes. Some people have had great results with this cam...others have had ok results. It's not huge(not even the size of a MS3 cam).

I'm only throwing on stock ls6 heads...don't have the money for a port and polish job.
The new cam, oil pump, timing chain, and front cover are installed. As well as the valley cover was installed. Also, the pistons and block were cleaned up(still gotta clean up some more tomorrow).
