roush 97 New Member Aug 28, 2003 86 0 0 Illinois Oct 10, 2004 #1 Oct 10, 2004 #1 I was planning on a new intake for my car. I figured while I was at it I should do the heads and cam. The intake looks like a fairly simple swap. After I get the old intake off, how much more work is involved in replacing the heads and cam?
