LT1, vented to non vented

[Blacdout96]

I'm looking at a 93 LT1 non vented. I was wondering if there are any tech articles on how to swap over a vented to a non vented, or if it can't be done. thanks.

But the MSD distributor which will convert the non vented style to a vented version.

yeah but that's like 600 bucks!! lol

Cheaper than swapping cams/timing covers.

[Featherburner]

To swap from non-vented to vented opti you'll need:
1) 95+ vented opti.
2) 94+ Bbody or 95+ Fbody timing cover.
3) 95+ camshaft
4) 95+ timing chain and gear set.
5) 95+ opti vacuum harness.
6) 95+ opti electrical harness.

I think that about covers it.

yes.

i believe msd cap and rotor is around $200 but featherburner nailed it

if you have a cam swap planned then by all means just convert it, otherwise its not that critical
