Woah, hey hadn't realized this post was made in 2020 :eek:
Anyways been some...Significant updates to the car since I made the post..

Two weeks ago I finished the Cam swap and preventative maintenance upgrades.
Summit 8715r cam, Little baby boi.
Morel 6504 lifters
Summit HD .080 7.400 pushrods
BTR .660 dual springs
Comp Trunnion upgrade
LS6 style valley cover
Melling M365 oil pump
Improved racing oil barbell
Cloyes timing chain/3bolt cam gear and LS2 style damper
New crank damper
ARP head, Cam and Torque convertor bolts
Camaro trans pan and filter
Lokar trans dipstick
Stainless works Longtube headers and Magnaflow 12469 muffler.

Along with the small upgrades I've made before with E85 sensor and VCM OTR intake.
Currently at about 320kms on the new cam, finally got the idle dialed in, fueling it looking good and time to start working on the timing.

Is the LS6 valley plate used on Aussie VZ LS1’s? It looks like what is on my LS1 VZ.

I'm not sure, it's possible they did a update on the new LS1 cars to reduce oil consumption. But I really have no idea.

I thought the L76 in your VE (G8) had the same.

Nope it used the valve cover PCV because of the VLOM for the cylinder deactivation.
Wow and you did it all yourself?
