Can someone post the GM part # for the LS6 camshaft and is it still available thru the dealers.
Thanks

It's Part #3863143.
I thought Rob or Pete stated this was still available through Crane?

I just checked on GM Parts Direct and that part # doesn't come up.
Is this camshaft discontinued thru GM?

I noticed that the valve lash spec for the Crane cam is significantly different than the original GM cam. Anyone know why ?

Not sure...they just changed it within the last year on the cam cards, even though everything else is the same...my guess is that the rash of flattened cams within ALL cam manufacturers has them tightening up their clearances...but that's just a guess. I have that cam and it likes the 24/28...
