Back to Cam Swap Guide

Build your own cam kit

Only the parts needed for an LS camshaft kit.

Build your cam kit one part at a time instead of starting from one bundled listing. Start by choosing one camshaft, then match the springs and support parts to the cam and your engine.

Step 1

Choose one camshaft.

The camshaft is the heart of the combo. Pick the cam that matches how you want the engine to idle, pull, and drive.

Step 2

Choose the right valve springs.

Most cam swaps need upgraded springs because the valves are opening farther and faster than stock.

Step 3

Choose the support parts that finish the kit.

These are the small parts that make the cam swap more complete and help the engine go back together cleanly.

Next Step

Before you order, check the install guide and tool list.

Building your own cam kit gives you control over each part, but the install still needs the right tools, gaskets, hardware, and reassembly supplies.
