oK heres the story, my car is torn down to just the block, pistons, rods, lifters etc in the car. I want to switch cams, but the cam is the part we dont really wanna mess with so id rather have a shop do it. Anyone know a shop that would swap cams if i brought the car to them?

somewhere in central NJ would be perfect

If you could strip the engine down that far why not do the cam yourself???
Its not hard, go get a chiltons or haynes manual for your car and it will give you step by step instuctions on the install.

It sure beats paying to have the car towed to and from the shop plus paying for labor.

The best way to learn is by doing.

I never did a cam swap either until a couple of weeks ago. Look at the tech
articles on the comp cams web page. All you really need is a cam wheel to verify
the centerline is correct. I bought a cheap one from Summit and used a piece
of wire for a pointer. Piece of cake...

Who installed the gas pedal?

Ted is right on this one.
