Hi Joyridin. Thanks for responding.

So I bought a DOD delete kit from Scoggin Dickey Parts. Here is a link to the kit: https://sdparts.com/i-24138746-l83-d...3-engines.html

The kit comes with a GM cam (part# 12672469) which is the direct replacement to remove DOD but keeps stock performance specs.

The kit also comes with LS7 lifters and the correct lifter trays.

My understanding from the kit is that with this combination you can reuse your stock pushrods which I did. I am going to call Scoggin Dickey today just to confirm.

I don't think I missed the the cam pin for the phaser because after I installed the phaser I did rotate the engine multiple times just to make sure the cam gear turned true and it looked good. Plus if I missed the pin I would have expected the alignment dots to no longer meet at the 12/6 position.

I have started tearing it down again today to see if I missed anything. I'm not terribly familiar with these engines and I'm really stumped on this one.
