The search has worked for me for a long time now.. Anywho you have a Romeo with bolt on cam gears so no worries. THe windsor motors have valve covers with 13/14 bolts

So i'm just curious, how are you going to do the install? Just straight up, degree you current cam gears, buy new ones, etc? Do you plan on measuring ptv clearence?

After talking to Bart he assured me that its not worth degreeing these cams. He said that they had tested a lot of cars and even tho some where 2*off the power loss was minimal(still hit 300 to the wheels). So im not going to waste my time on that.

Shoot id rather do an OHCS on a motor in the car than a OHV swap like on a 5.0. At least the cams are on top lol. The hardest part is moving all the **** out of the way and removing the valve covers. The rest is just a torque wrench, valve spring tool and some cold beer. With the exception of taking off the timing chains and valve springs, the actual removing/putting in the new cams is easy. its like 6 bolts on each head IIRC.
Just like adding another bolt on

Try squeezing one of those valve covers off on a 5.4... I definitely came up with a few new swear worlds that day.
I've never done cams with engine still in the car... but it's really not that big of a deal. If you know what side of the ratchet you're suppose to be holding, you'll be alright.
