RE: lt1 cam problems

did you measure the pushrod length? new lifters? did you check that the valve springswere correctly seated?

did you take the rocker covers off yet to see if something was messed up in there?

Buddy of mine put a hot cam into his 96' SS, had same problem with it running, ended up having to get a new computer to work with that cam. Though the grinding isn't a good sign....good luck.
