Nice write up for the cam install, I'm looking at throwing the same cams under the hood of my car, It will give me something to refer to.

GrnBullitt08, these cams are going to be
a nice compliment to your car.

i didn't do it all in one session, because
i had to wait for my cams (this allowed me
to get everything prepped and ready)....if i
were to do it all over again, it would probably take
me at least 5-6 hours

good luck with the project and let us know how
you like the new hot rod sound
