I've got my cams on the way. I bought a used set of Windsor cams. I'm pulling the front covers off anyway (inspection), so didn't see a need in the Romeos. What else do I need to successfully complete the swap? Any tips or tricks to make things smoother? I'm still a little wary of the timing, but I'll figure it out I guess. This is my first mod motor.

Thanks guys.

they are really not that hard to do, just take your time and don't hack.

Got it, thanks.

I may have overlooked it in the article, but do I need new crank and cam bolts with the windsor cams?
