Cam swap
 
I am gonna start on my car next weekend. What all do I have to remove up front to have enough clearance for a cam swap......just radiator, or more???

radiator shroud
radiator
water pump
alternator
disc, but don't remove the PS pump, just swing it out of the way
timing cover (2 bolts connect through the oil pan)

Basically the whole from of you motor, and your intake manifold, you'll have to loosen the rocker arms as well

GRAY87GT:

Let me know if you decide to do this, they are asking $750 from a shop to change them, so it would be worth (for me) to do it myself. Let me know or e-mail me about things that came up and how smoothly things go for you, who knows maybe you could help me for some cash..( I see you aren't too far away) Good luck and keep us posted.

Thanks gofastlx, I was just worried about how long the cam had to be pulled out. I am putting heads and intake on at same time, so it ought to be an experience.
