do you guys have any idea on the price of labor to install cams?

A buddy and a six pack if you aren't changing springs. Shouldn't be much harder if you are changing them but I wouldn't know

my buddys at mechanic at sts and said its hard to do on the mustangs and it would be liek a 7-10 hour job

its not TERRIBLY difficult, but not something i'd reccomend for everyone to do. look in the 4.6 section for oxford's engine build thread, very detailed.

why are you asking us? call a half dozen shops in your area and see what they charge. labor charges are completely different depending on where you live. back in panama city the cheapest place that would install my gears was 500$, every other shop was 750. thats a hell of a lot higher than anyone else i see around here.


but to prepare yourself, assuming you have EVERYTHING part wise right now, i would expect 500-1000$ for labor, plus the dyno tune.

Most of the reputable shops near me are charging $700.00-1000.00
for a cam install.Definitley purchase all your parts before hand.
Alot of stage 1 cams don't require you to install new valve springs
and will save you money on labor and time.
I really like the specs on the Comp Stage 1 cams not bad for a
off the shelf cam.

My shop charged me 500 w/o degreeing them. So i mean it maybe closer to like 750-800.

well your going to be shelling out close to $1000-1200 for some cams and install, I would just save a little while and get a S/C setup.
