Putting a 5.3 in my 51, 3100. The engine came out of a 2013, 2WD, Silverado and came with the 6L80E transmission.

I plan on installing an AFM (Active Fuel Management) delete kit, which requires a new cam, lifters and associated parts. I also plan on retaining the VVT (Variable Valve Timing) system. Anybody out there done this and what's the degree of difficulty with regard to re-installing the VVT?

Haven't ordered my kit yet and I'm not sure what technical instructions come with the kit. I'd like to get an idea if this project is within my skill set so any feedback would be appreciated.
