non-pi heads and pi cam question

[juecke98gt]

Is the pi-cam a direct replacement with the non-pi cam, or do i need something special to do the swap. Thanks

all you need is pi cams bolts 5-10$, the guy at the local junk yard gave them to me

Quick question when you say camshaft bolt where are these bolts exactly. I know there are cap cluster bolts on top that hold the cam in place is this what your talking about?
