Texas Speed describes the three-bolt cam swap as the common configuration, which is why this kit is a frequent add-on for later LS engines that left the factory with a one-bolt camshaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe kit lists the Texas Speed OE-style 4x three-bolt upper sprocket (TSP-6481, built like GM 12586481) and the ARP LS1 cam bolt kit (ARP-134-1003). The gear is made to OEM fit and finish so it works with the factory single roller timing chain. Texas Speed notes that engines equipped with variable valve timing (VVT) need its VVT Delete Kit instead of this conversion kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePurpose: Converts a 1-bolt camshaft timing gear to the 3-bolt pattern for a 3-bolt cam swap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCam gear: Texas Speed OE-style 4x three-bolt upper sprocket, like GM 12586481 (TSP-6481)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCam bolts: ARP LS1 Chevy cam bolt kit (ARP-134-1003)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngines per Texas Speed data: Gen III LS 4.8\/5.3, Gen IV LS 4.8\/5.3 and 6.0\/6.2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVVT engines: Not covered; Texas Speed directs VVT engines to its VVT Delete Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: TSP-3BoltConvKit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKit Includes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTexas Speed OE-style 4x three-bolt upper timing sprocket, like GM 12586481 (TSP-6481), qty 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eARP LS1 Chevy cam bolt kit (ARP-134-1003), qty 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e If the engine has VVT, Texas Speed directs buyers to its VVT Delete Kit rather than this 3-bolt conversion kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eVehicle Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eApplication per Texas Speed: Gen III and Gen IV LS engines that use a 1-bolt camshaft gear.
