Well as my dad goes off to Asia this week I am going to be left alone with a set of new heads cam and intake. He is going to be gone for a good 15 days so I will not be able to have his help with this project. What is your advice for doing this? My main concern is installing the cam. I have purchased the trickflow kit and it will arrive at the beginning of this week. How hard is it to install the cam. Can you give me some advice and a step by step walkthrough for it? What other concerns should I have? I am going to be doing a H/C/I and harmonic balancer. Any advice will help, I have watched and helped my dad and this will probably be my first time doing it alone. What do I have to worry about with degreeing the cam and stuff like that. Any info is helpful. Thanks!

To get the cam out of the motor you will need to remove the radiator, fan and A/C condensor out of your way so you can slide it out.

For installation instructions check out http://www.cranecams.com/?show=technicalHelp&PHPSESSID=51102c7a155497b6047117c3c86cea5f look under installation instructions, it also has ones for the valvetrain. I also suggest you invest in a Chilton or Hanynes manual it will also help guide you through everything and give you the required torque specs.
