any opinions? zzp says its ok to run it with stock everything but I am just wondering due to my mileage.
 
Can't see your sig but I would at least do a set of valve springs w/ a new stock timing chain and dampener. With 165k I only imagine there's at least a bit of wear and tear and you'll already be in there.

I top swapped at 133k on a rust bucket imp. Just depends non your expectations. I will be more than happy if I keep this car on the road for 3 more years. I certainly wouldn't be worried about camming at 165. If you are looking for longevity then replace all the wear parts you can while your in there. Lifters, prods, springs, timing set, rockers etc... Or just "slap it in" and enjoy it. :)

I would rather just slap it in and run it I just dont want to break down a week later lol.
 


I remember reading that you can get cheap upgraded springs straight from gm. Anyone know which ones i should get and from where? Im guessing 90# springs but where would be cheapest

So go to gm and ask for l78 valve springs?
And retainers to im guessing?

L76
Typo

Yes I'll find you a part # later. For the retainers that just have to be LS style ones. You can reuse your valve locks but it's also handy to same extra on hand in case you lose one.
