The cam gear is a 1 bolt this change was added when GM came out with active fuel managment, will have to install a 3 bolt gear.

appears the crank pulley is a C5/C6 corvette????

Yes, same style as Y-body for the crank. They switched to 1-bolt with the variable valve timing, even though this motor does not have it. Since all 2007+ cars have 1-bolt some shops sell "3-bolt conversions".

So, even the 6M V8s are gonna have the 1-bolt cam gear? That sucks.:mad:

any LS2, LS3, L92, L76, L98

all GEN IV style V8 has had a 1 bolt cam gear since 10/06

a 3 bolt cam gear with the new style cam gear sequence was in 2006 LS7.

Their is a double row chain set with this style cam gear made by JP performance.

you just need to keep this in mind for a cam swap

Since I'm not as mechanically inclined as some people are, I'll let a reputable speed shop handle that swap. :D
