hey guys i jus got my cam kit frm TR....i asked arund at couple places for the cost to get it installed...i got numbers like up to $2500??? is it rip off??..How much u guys end up paying for the labor?????

Wow I got H/C/I swap for $1200 and have never had a problem

[Mr. Luos]

Timing chain, oil pump, UD pulley. Might as well since everything i mentioned is gonna have to come out.

Oil pump doesn't need to be removed (but it should be replaced during the swap) to swap out the cam.

thanks for the input guys........imma take my time not rush into it....i have 90k miles n my car is there other things i should think bout changing since im gonna have the engine out??????

Motor stays in the car for the cam swap. Hell, the intake can stay on.

Do you ahve to remove the front clip to take the cam out?
is it easier to drop the motor or leave it in?

[67rsss]

You can leave the engine in. Read this... it will answer sooo many questions for you.

I'd pull the rad out at least. The front clip can stay on but pulling the motor would be a bit much IMO. Trust me, I have the pictures to prove it haha! I'd definitely come help ya though if you needed help pulling the motor/someone to help drink beer with you

Radiator needs to come out. A/C compressor gets moved up as well.
Front clip stays on.

Leave the motor in for a cam swap....

Haha, I'm down. Are you doing heads and cam? That may take a whole weekend with beer drinking involved. Dropping the motor out for that would be a little much IMO.
