The GEN IV 5.3 is a single bolt cam. You will need the LS2 3 bolt cam sprocket and dampener. See the other posts regarding info and part numbers.

dude you need
LS7 lifters,
LS7 lifter trays,
head gaskets,
push rods (check)
cam (check)
valve springs
upgrade to the LS2 wedge style dampner its 22.00
dont go back with stock head bolts (i perfer ARP)
you need an LS2 valley cover OR LS7 the LS7 was 20.00 cheaper when i bought it
Black RTV for the corners of the timing chain cover an a lil bit by the cracks in the oil pan gasket under the timing chain cover.
copper sealer spray is great
