Sunday=Football time in my house. Got to have some boys to outnumber the girls.

Yes, you can do this job with help in under 6 hours. That is the time it took me alone - including cleanup- and I tend to work on the slow/safe side. Just make sure you don't have to drive the car right away so you can let the RTV cure some.

i was just going to post that comment. I would definetly wait to do both at the same time as well. would seem like a PITA to do it 2 times.

E-bay is the best place to find a set of used PI heads and intake but for new the cheapest place I have found is http://performance.parkwayfordga.com/Headswap.htm

the PI intake won't match up with the non PI heads, you should just wait till you get the heads too.

Wait and do both. The cam swap was easier than messing with the PI intake. It took me about 4.5 hrs for the PI intake swap. If I was doing the headswap I would wait. Hate to do the job twice.

pi intake swap took like 3-4 hours the first time, 2 hours the 2nd time (was stupid and sealed wrong). its worth it for cheap bucks. good mod if you're waiting to put on heads (thats what i did). its really not that hard, its not like tearing down a whole motor.
