Hey y’all I have an L59 5.3 suburban that needs cam and lifters done, as some of you guys have probably seen from previous threads. Now I’m trying to go extreme budget, the truck isn’t worth much and I just want to keep the thing going without ticking and misfiring from a probably wiped cam lobe.
With that being said, I went on Facebook marketplace to find a used cam. Found one that looked somewhat promising. It’s a 1721 cam with only 7k miles on it. Only problem is, it’s a stock cam for a 6.0 LQ4 out of a 04 Chevy 3500, not a L59/LM7 5.3
Specs seem very similar on the 2, think I could get away with the LQ4 cam in the L59 without major issues or major tuning needed?
The lift on the L59 cam is .464 and lift on the LQ4 cam is .456
Let me know what you guys think and as always thank you very much.
