Default Need opinions

I have my gt-40 heads on the way, got head gaskets-felpro9333pt-1, and intake gaskets-1250 and the upper gasket on the way too. Was just wondering what people thought i should do, Should i puta cam in while im at it, or wait, i mean im gonna be that far down, but ill have to take the front bumper and all that **** off to do it, dont reallt want to pull the engine. I think i might just wait one day until i can just pull the engine, but thanks for the idea, just wondering

you can make good power on the stock cam... so unless you feel like putting out the extra money for pushrods, lifters, timing chain, more gaskets, and upgraded springs for the heads.... you should just leave it alone
