Someone that knows what they're doing.

Don't take that the wrong way dude, not trying to be a butthole, but you can really screw things up if you're not 100% sure of what ya gotta do.

Basically, yank the intake, rockers, water pump, front cover, timing chain, lift out the pushrods and lifters, slide out the old cam, slide in the new cam, reassemble. That's the "nutshell" version, there ALOT more to it than that.

Like I said, not trying to rain on your parade, but I'd hate to see you trash a running motor too!

Do yourself a BIG favor and get someone that is "Knowledgable in Cam swaps" to do it for you. You'll save yourself alot of greef and headaches. Plus, expense to correct it.

At my shop I "redo" several cars/trucks a month that the owner, or one of their buddies, has done. As in timing belts, water pumps, cams, intake manifolds, etc.
