I am using the Lokar universal cable for the LS. I used a 6 cylinder pedal out of a 69 nova since it was cable actuated versus the lever style the V8's used. If you try to buy a new one they are around $70 since it is the same pedal used on the cross ram Z/28. You can buy the Lokar pedal but it is $150. I got my 6 cylinder pedal for $20 at the local salvage yard. I reinforced it just to be safe. I will post some pics maybe tomorrow of it so you can reference back to it.
As far as I can tell from what I have read, the timing chains on these engines have slack in them. I used a brand new LS2 (improved links) and I had the same amount of slack in mine. All it drives is the cam unlike the old SBC that drove the cam, distributor, and the oil pump. That is why I didnt bother to degree the cam in. I figure with the slack I was wasting my time.
